Reading Time! Summer Books for Toddlers to Teens from the NYPL
7/11/16 - By Rose Gordon Sala
Finding the perfect beach read is something of an annual hunt for book nerds and casual readers alike. And passing that literary tradition down to your kids can be a great way to stave off those endless "I'm bored" moments, not to mention keep their brain cells firing over summer vacation.
Luckily, the New York Public Library recently issued its annual Summer Reading Challenge and Contest, urging kids to read at least 20 minutes a day. Along with that came a trove of book recommendations for kids, from baby board books to early readers to teen thrillers and everything in between. There’s even a book list for grown-ups, because, hey, kids learn by watching too, right?
So whether your kids need a little prodding to pick up a book this summer, or if they’re complaining they don’t have anything new to read, check out this sampling of great book suggestions from the one of the country's largest library systems. And don’t forget to check out our activity-stocked Summer Slide Busters Guide with brainy summer play ideas for kids, including 50+ Ways to Keep Kids Off of Screens.
We’ve listed a sampling of the book recommendations from NYPL, but the library made nearly a dozen (or more) suggestions for each age group. Read the full list as well as the adult book lineup on the NYPL's Summer Reading page—and find the books at your local library. Book synopses are provided by publishers and NYPL.
