Top 10 Children’s books for 3 to 6 year olds

In this age of smartphones, it is a big challenge for a parent to create the minds and thinking of children in the right way. Various scientists and psychologists have discussed in detail the consequences of handing over smartphones to young children from now on. The thing that stands out in the evaluation of their statement is that the smartphones of small children do a lot of harm without doing any good. As a result, in this age, the issue of handing over books (Children’s books) to children has become more relevant. Prose or verse writing is not new for children, and soon after the birth of literature, writing something other than textbooks for children – many writers have thought and written about this subject. A new section of literature called “Children’s Literature” or ”Juvenile literature”  has been created.

There are many books for children in the market. There are many good books. New writers are writing better and better. Yet some classic children’s books still linger in our minds. These are timeless books. Below we have selected some such timeless books. We hope that your child’s childhood will be as happy and lively as ours.
