I loved Shel Silverstein’s poetry books. Where the Sidewalk Ends and A Light in the Attic. I still remember my aunt reading these to me when I was little.
Some are shorter and some are longer they are designed for kids. You can probably google him and find a few examples. They are really funny. I always loved the accompanying illustrations.
My son (4yo) loved these until he got to one where a kid drowns in his own tears and dies?! Lol, I didn’t remember them being so dark. He got really afraid. So if your kid is sensitive maybe choose and read the poems in advance?
I’m reading the fantastic Mr fox, chapters are only a couple of pages long. My kids aren’t interested in picture books though, my son also find the sleep book by Dr zeus hilarious, as did I!
For the younger ones Sandra Boynton has great board books! For the 6 year old Dr. Seuss, Mo Willems, Kevin Henkes, and for chapter book read alouds The Magic Treehouse books are great!
My 4 yo son loves mo willems, dragons love tacos, don’t push the button, and he goes bananas for any little golden book that’s based on a movie he likes.
My all time favorite children’s book is Max Lucado’s “You Are Special” — Oh to be honest it is one of my all time favorite books period. Wonderful Truths we all need to hear!
‘Robinson crusoe’, ‘Gulliver’s travels’,’adventures of Sindbad the sailor’ and ‘King Arthur and knights of round table’ are few of the books i would recommend for early readers.
Oh The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss. We’re Going On a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen. Stick Man by Julia Donaldson. Rhino’s Don’t Eat Pancakes by Anna Kemp. I Love My Mummy by Giles Andreae.
They’re just a few of our many that my daughter (4) loves.
The Magic Tree House, Where the Wild Things Are, Shel Silverstein-I loved his poetry books as a young kid. (Love them now too, but remember really enjoying them)
I have a six year old and he loves the Gruffalo books by Julia Donaldson, we have most of them and he really enjoys themhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Julia-Donaldson-X10-Books-Collection/dp/1509801251
My almost 3 year old loves Giggle Giggle Quack by Doreen Cronin, Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreas, and any book by Eric Carle. Those may work for the littles.
1) The Giving Tree 2) Fallen Star 3) An Apple Pie for Dinner 4) Mae and the Moon 5) Clouds 6) King Bidgood is in the Bathtub 7) Engelbert Sneem and his Dream Vacuum Machine 8) It Looked like Spilt Milk 9) The Napping House 10) Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

Wizard of Oz books, Peter Rabbit, robert munsch,
The little prince!
‘Robinson crusoe’, ‘Gulliver’s travels’,’adventures of Sindbad the sailor’ and ‘King Arthur and knights of round table’ are few of the books i would recommend for early readers.
They are better than making kids an addict to animated film series on tablets and laptops.
