My son is 6.
I’m a HUGE reader although reading wasn’t really encouraged in my house as a child so it wasn’t until I was in my early 20s that I found out I loved reading.
Anyway, my son and I read a lot together but it’s mostly been short kids books like Julia Donaldson, SuperTato, Dino that popped etc
I really want him to find that part of himself that feels like ‘omg I have to know what’s next’.
You know the part that keeps you reading at 3am when you have a big meeting at work at 9…
Trouble is, I’m struggling to find a book that is suitable for his age so he can actually understand it and want to know what comes next.
We’ve read things like The Twits and so on, but I find these don’t really have any plot points that make you desperate to know what’s next…
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated! ❤️🙏🏻

I’m in NYC and I just made a habit is taking my kid to the library Fridays or Saturdays. Buy a coffee for the librarian and ask for recs and let my kid roam around the kids section. Her mom buys her some books which I kinda get but they mostly wind up at the library.
