Books for ages 3 to 6 (preschool and kindergarten)

Between three and six, children fall in love with real stories: characters with problems to solve, friends to make and feelings to understand. These books for preschool and kindergarten have a proper beginning, middle and end, with bright pictures on every page.

There are animal adventures, magical kingdoms, first-day-of-school stories and educational books on counting, shapes and the world around us. Tap Read to me to hear any book read aloud.

Reading tips

Ask "what do you think will happen next?" before turning the page.
Let your child finish familiar sentences.
Follow up a story with a drawing of their favorite part.
