Popular Books Kids Keep Coming Back To

If your child isn’t sure which book to choose, these are some of the titles that have been favorites with kids for years. They make great conversation starters and often inspire other children to pick up a new book.

• The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
• The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
• The Giver by Lois Lowry
• Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr.

I always enjoy seeing which books kids choose for this worksheet. Some write about a childhood favorite they’ve read dozens of times, while others pick the latest book they couldn’t put down. In our house, Freddie’s answer changes often, but Diary of a Wimpy Kid has been his most consistent favorite over the years.
