Your child is now an independent reader, which makes this a wonderful time to get them wrapped up in the giddiness of receiving great books for the holidays! Books with fascinating topics (like those in the Who Would Win 10-Book Boxed Set) and books about whimsical adventures (like the Dragon Masters Box Set) are popular picks for kids in this age range.
Readers will unwrap magic with captivating activity books to go alongside their favorite series. For instance, pair the ready-to-gift Dog Man: The Epic Collection (Books #1-3) with the epic Dog Man with Love: The Official Coloring Book.
