Read-alouds are the best holiday gifts for young readers because they help them discover the excitement in receiving a book — all while building their foundation for reading skills!
Building a solid reading habit from a young age has tremendous benefits for kids, now and later down the road. Holidays are a great time to curl up and get cozy with a book together to create memories centered around reading with your family.
Enjoy books with iconic characters such as Peppa in Peppa Pig: Super Fun Story Box! Meanwhile, Princess Truly #8: I Can Help! highlights important social-emotional lessons and helps little ones gain the confidence to overcome any obstacle, no matter how big or small.
Plus, unwrap the magic of the season with the festive Raise a Reader Set: Seasonal Stories Christmas Paperbacks and Seasonal Stories Hanukkah Pack! There is also Santa Shark: A Great White Christmas — a fin-tastic picture book packed with laugh-out-loud humor, puns galore, and tons of holiday spirit.
