50+ Chapter Books for Kids


We love to read in this house and now that my daughter is 9 we are moving on to reading chapter books. I like to read them to her as well as her reading them to me.

I thought today I would share with you some of our favorite chapter books for kids. It is National Read A Book Day so lets get out a good book and get to reading.

50+ awesome chapter books for kids. Lots of great classics included.
