Research has shown that children who read for pleasure are more likely to succeed and have better opportunities in their lives. Having access to a wide variety of books not only at school, but also at home, is fundamental to enabling children to nurture a love of reading and therefore boost their wellbeing and reach their full potential in life. To celebrate 25 years of World Book Day’s life-changing annual event, Green Bean Studios has put together our top 25 children’s books, based on what our team members love reading to their children, or remember loving as children themselves! The Very Hungry Caterpillar – Eric Carle There are no surprises that this perennial favourite has made it onto our list. Eric Carle’s story delights children with unique illustrations, and fun features including flaps and a hole that the hungry caterpillar has nibbled right through the pages! A beautiful tale that continues to be read to generation after generation. Spot The Dog – Eric Hill Perhaps it’s something about ‘Erics’ and the ability to create books that young children adore? Eric Hill’s series of books follow Spot, a lovable dog who explores and learns with everyday experiences that are highly relatable to the early years audience. Freckle Juice (Banana Books) – Judy Blume American author, Judy Blume, tells the hilarious tale of a school boy called Andrew who admires the freckles of a boy who sits in front of him in class. Andrew decides he really wants freckles as well – mean girl Susan swears she has a recipe to grow freckles, but things start to go awry for Andrew! Judy Blume has a wonderful way of telling stories from a child’s perspective, making this a perfect early reader for children. Our storytime sessions are a great way for children aged one to seven years old to experience the fun adventures and lovable characters as they are immersed in the exciting world of Adventure Dales with Green Bean & Friends. The stories have a broad appeal and are enjoyed by children and parents from all walks of life. Live storytelling and author events are a fantastic way to engage young readers and nurture a love of reading and learning throughout their lives. As well as being able to experience the storytime session, children will also have the opportunity to have their books signed on the day by the author, giving them a wonderful keepsake to take home and cherish.
