Children reading books

On a recent trip to London, England my husband and I were hosted by long-time friends with their three lovely children.  We truly enjoyed our time with them in their beautiful home as we devoured the generous and delicious meals they made.   Although I was missing my son who we left with my parents, I was kept occupied with the great company of Sebastian (age 11), Linnea (age 5), and Nicholas (age 6) who had quite a collection of books.

Children reading books

It really is interesting to see what kids are reading in different parts of the world.  Here are a few current favorites in this London household:

What People Do All Day.  Hermelin.
What People Do All Day – by Richard Scarry
Hermelin, the Detective Mouse – by Mini Grey
Joan Procter, Dragon Doctor
Joan Procter, Dragon Doctor
by, Patricia Valdes and Felicita Sala

Joan Procter Dragon Doctor is based on the true life of Joan Beauchamp Procter, a British zoologist. It’s an empowering and inspirational story recommended for little ones ages 4-8. Curiosity and a passion for what others thought of as odd only led to great achievements for Joan.

Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls
Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, by Francesca Cavallo and Elena Favilli
Follow that Car
Follow that Car, by Lucy Feather and Stephan Lomp

I hope some of these recommendations will find their way to your home too. Happy Reading!
