Top 10 Children’s Books of 2009

One of the best activities grandparents can do with their grandchildren is to read children’s books to them. Of course, as children get older and are able to read books on their own, Grandma and Grandpa can still help teach the importance of reading by having some of the best children’s books of all time available for kids to read.

The New York Times has released a list of what it believes to be the top ten children’s books of 2009, and there are a couple kids books listed here that even I had never heard of, but will definitely take a close look at adding some of these children’s books to our library.

Here is the top 10 children’s books list from the NY Times:

Reading kids books to grandchildren is just as much fun as when we read children’s books to our kids when they were young, starting when they were babies and as the children got older. You’re never too young or too old to enjoy reading books, and reading children’s books to grandchildren is a favorite thing to do for many grandparents.
