Lovereading4kids categories
Books of the Month - February
At Lovereading4kids we’re passionate about all the books we feature.
Debut books from New Authors
The best from first time authors.
Lovereading's debuts are titles that have struck a real chord with us here by a debut author who we believe has a real future as a children's writer.
Recommended Children's eBooks
eBooks have at last come of age and although you have been able to see if an eBook is available on a title by title basis on Lovereading4kids for a while now, we also wanted to create a special section which features all of our eBook recommended reads.
Children's Book Awards - Shortlists and Winners
The Book Awards category on Lovereading4kids will help you and your child discover authors currently in contention for and/or winners of the most prestigious awards. By their very presence on this page, you can be sure that each of the books featured here is the 'crème-de-la-crème' of today's children's literature.

Children's Audio Books
Books are great for your children to read - but there are times, such as long car journeys, when reading isn't always as easy as it should be. So, more and more publishers are now producing audio CD versions of their books.
Books for Babies and Toddlers
Nothing beats sitting with a baby or toddler on the knee and sharing a book.
Featured Books for 3+ readers
A message from Anthony Browne, one of the UK's most brilliant and respected Picture Book Illustrators, who was Children's Laureate 2009-11:
"Picture books are special – they're not like anything else. Sometimes I hear parents encouraging their children to read what they call proper books, books without pictures, at an earlier and earlier age. This makes me sad, as picture books are perfect for sharing, and not just with the youngest children. As a father, I understand the importance of the bond that develops through reading picture books with your child. We have in Britain some of the best picture book makers in the world, and I want to see their books appreciated for what they are – works of art." Picture books, he said, are "perfect for any age".
The books in this genre will have more story than those books featured in the Baby and Toddler genre but still with lots of stunning imagery to share with your child and for them to enjoy alone.
Featured Books for 5+ readers
Learning to read provides the best opportunity for children to take off privately into worlds of their own.
Featured Books for 7+ readers

Featured Books for 14+ readers
There comes a point in a young life when the time is right to move on from the books and children’s authors they enjoyed as a child to reading books and authors that offer greater challenges as they grow up into adulthood. The books in this 14+ category are exactly that. They bridge that gap to introduce you and your teenager to authors who write only for teens but also adult authors who also write for a teenage / young adult audience.
Guest Editor - Jacqueline Wilson
Creator of the infamous Tracy Beaker, Jacqueline is not only a Dame of the Realm and an OBE but a former Children’s Laureate to boot!
And, she has agreed to share some of her favourites with us, and her book, The Worst Thing about my Sister, a brilliant tale of the bond of sisterhood, is published this month and is one of our Book of the Months too!
Children's Author Favourites
What started out as a bit of fun, finding out favourite books of some of our favorite authors, quickly became a really amazing list of books we wanted to share with you.
Great Books for Boys
LOOK NO FURTHER FOR GUIDANCE ON THE BEST BOOKS FOR BOYS
There's no shortage of research that suggests that boys don't read as much as girls and if our email requests from members and browsers is anything to go by a list of books that are 'Great for Boys', is long overdue. So right here on Lovereading4kids our aim is to redress that balance.
Children's Book 'Must Reads'
New is not necessarily better
Children's Classics
A message from Julia Eccleshare:
'Each of the carefully selected titles has earned its place on each publisher’s list because it has inspired previous generations to become passionate readers. The stories have already been passed down from one generation to another and been the starting point for many other stories. All these classics selected by Lovereading4kids are the perfect way of reading the old and the new - and loving both. More titles will be added over time so you can come back again and again and indulge yourself and your children in whichever format suits you best at the time.’
