    Hello friends!
    I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old.
    please suggest me good books to be read to my little ones.
    my 5 year old likes to read and is always looking for some material to read. I have tried Iam Sam but it does not have many pictures and the words are too less.
    Iam looking for good colourful volumes ...preferably bigger volumes with simple sentences and which can be used as bed time stories as well.
    I would like to know publisher details, whether it's available online and also the price.
    Iam sure my friends here in IL have tried many options.

    Would be most grateful for any suggestions

    thanks
    joel

    Usborne books have a great selection. Pick up books by authors like Dr Seuss, Jill Murphy, Julia Donaldson. Don't go for the small novel like books - get the large books with just a couple of lines on each page and pictures with lots of detail. Any bookshop will have such books. Or try Amazon.

    ps: the same books can be read to your 2 year old too.

    Joel, how about visiting the library and borrow a few books from there before you buy them? I dont know about 5 year olds but my almost 3 year old LOVES Dr.Suess books and of course some simpler Winnie the Pooh etc.

    thanks for the suggestion Rakhi...I also thought of this...but I wanted to have a personal copy of the volumes since it can be used by the second kid also later...but yes as you said I can try this first so that I know if they really love them..Iam kind of sure of my elder one ..he loves all colourful books and don't let me go off until I hear him read it fully

    Hi OP,
    You may buy some books from kindle store for your tablet like iPad. here is the link:

    Amazon.com: toddler books: Kindle Store

    You can find some free kindle books too. here is the link:
    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...h=n:133140011,k:free+toddler+books+for+kindle

    You may want to take atleast some books seperately for 2 year kid, as they like 1 sentence and all big pictures in it.
    where as, your 5 year old son likes to read, you try taking books which encourages him to read with some nice short stories, of course with nice pictures.
