The Best Children's Cartoon Books


Some of my childhood memories were spending time with my younger sister during bedtime. She would always have a story prepared which she heard earlier from her teacher. Back then, she was in her kindergarten. Even if I was four years older than her, I can’t help but to picture in my mind everything that she has to tell. The way she tells her stories really interests me. Maybe because, she herself was then so enchanted with the story along with the picture cartoons which probably her teacher showed to them.

Along with the teacher, parents must also be patient in looking for books that would really interest their children at the first sight. As we all know, children are very fond of those picture cartoons and colorful things. Moreover, parents should also make time to read to their children.

The books enumerated below are just some of the many books which parents can choose from. Some of the books ideal to be presented for toddlers are the following: The Very Hungry Caterpillar; Goodnight Moon; Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?; The Rainbow Fish; The Snowy Day; The Runaway Bunny; Pat the Bunny; Clap Hands; The Going-To-Bed Book.

For the school-aged child of four to eight years old, the following books are suggested: The Polar Express, Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, Where The Wild Things Are, The Mitten, The Velveteen Rabbit, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, The Complete Tales of Winnie the Pooh, The Lorax, Amazing Grace, Jumanji, Math Curse, and 101 Dalmatians.

Likewise, for children aged nine to twelve years old, parents can get them a copy of the following books: Charlotte’s Web, Hatchett, The Hobbit, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Secret Garden, Shiloh, Little House on the Prairie, The Boxcar Children, Maniac Magee, Island of the Blue Dolphins, The Giver, Jack and the Beanstalk, Harry Potter Books, The Battle of the Labyrinth, and The Chronicles of Narnia.
