Best Books for 6 Year Olds

Kids at age 6 can start to read on their own but may need help with more complicated vocabulary. Once kids find a topic that they’re interested in, they can read on and on! Adventure stories are extremely popular among this age group. Some of the best books for 6-year-olds include Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Where the Wild Things Are, and Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea.

Best Books for 7 Year Olds

Generally around 7 or 8 years old, kids can start reading chapter books like The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Pippi Longstocking, Charlotte’s Web, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Series books are also popular among newly independent readers and can keep kids interested for hours on end. Some popular series for 7 year olds are Magic Treehouse, Captain Underpants, and Rainbow Magic.

Best Books for 8 Year Olds

By this age, kids usually have their favorite book topics whether it’s animals, adventure, humor, biography, or fantasy. Some of the most popular books for 8 year olds include Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the Dog Man series, Matilda, Judy Moody, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone.
