Books for 6-9-year-Olds

This article is a continuation of Books for 0-6-year-olds, with some books that blend between years.

Growing up and facts of life

It is never too early to discuss such an important topic as body safety education. We can’t afford to be squeamish and avoid difficult conversations. Some of these books should be read once or twice per month.

Science

Diversity

Inspiring people

Storytelling

  • Harry Potter illustrated edition
  • Jill Tomlinson
  • Dr Seuss books, we got A Classic Case Of Dr Seuss, that is not available any more on Amazon. I will leave this link for possible options, as a case is a much better value than individual books (in 2017, I paid 27 pounds for 20 books). These books are a complete hit in our house, read, reread, and full pages are memorized and narrated through the day.
  • The books from Andrea Beaty – Sofia Valdez, the future president, Rosie Revere, the engineer, Ada Twist, the scientist, Iggy Peck, the architect, are great role models, showing that small actions can have a big impact. “Most people like good, Sofia liked better.”
  • Pettson and Findus books from Swedish writer Sven Nordqvist. This is a delightful series with whimsical and often hillarious illustrations about a quirky old man and his talking cat.
