Do you enjoy reading books for kids?What are your favourite kids story books?Reading books for kids books can be so enchanting, thrilling and imaginative. Most people have a favourite story or stories they read or were read to them as a child which just goes to show how powerful they can be.Whether you loved Enid Blyton’s Famous Five books, Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery, or C.S Lewis’ Narnia adventures, to have read great kids books years ago and for the feelings and enthusiasm for the story to remain with you years later is very special indeed. One of the things I enjoy most is reading books for kids and escaping into a different world, to become utterly absorbed in the characters and the journey they are on. I like to read all sorts of books but great kids books, I believe, have more scope for creativity and adventure. My favourite children’s bookI love the character of ‘Anne Shirley’ in Anne of Green Gables because she’s strong-willed and stubborn, which often gets her into trouble. She’s also creative, positive and very imaginative. This is one of my favourite quotes from the book:
"Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?" Ultimately though, it is the relationships that Anne Shirley develops throughout the series, with Marilla and Matthew and, of course, with Gilbert that kept me turning the pages and never wanting the books to end. Celebrating our favourite children’s authorsSo, it’s here that we would like to honour the stories of our past, the ones which have stayed with us through adulthood. Thank you to the Enid Blytons, the Lucy Maud Montgomerys and the C.S Lewis’ for inspiring us and showing us the way to hopefully become great writers who inspire others one day.
