Video game books are a great way to build upon children's passions and interests to foster a lifelong love of reading. While video games give kids the opportunity to observe characters navigate new adventures, reading the books allows them to see the plot lines develop further in a different format.
Books about video games like the Press Start! #1: Game Over, Super Rabbit Boy! for grades K to 2 or The Ultimate Builders Guide in Minecraft for grades 2 to 5 sharpen your child’s problem-solving skills and reading comprehension.
Your child will be eager to dive into these stories — from beginner chapter books to game manuals and award-winning series — that will be sure to captivate both gamers and non-gamers alike.
