10 Best Stories to Pick For an Early Reader | Hand picked pocket friendly books for kids

Not sure what to read to your child. Check out this list of pocket friendly books that you can pick up for your kid. 

When I was expecting my second child, I was little worried how does this little girl can spend time alone after her free- play time while I will be busy with the younger one. During my pregnancy I took her to nearby library so that I can read and also inculcate the reading habit in my elder one. Thankfully there were many interesting books for her age with lots of illustrations. Initial days I always preferred picking a book with lots of colorful illustrations, big fonts and simple vocabulary. Below are the few of her favorite early reader choice of books with small gist of story.

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more to more intelligent make them read more fairy tales”- Albert Einstein

Today She is an avid reader and a bookworm . Her room has not sufficient space for her collection of books. Definitely everyone is amazed with her vocabulary. Believe me none of the books are expensive and they are very pocket-friendly.

Below is the list of some good and interesting stories for early readers | Pocket friendly books for kids

Cinderella

Though I didn’t plan to start with this story, It happened to be my child’s first story in her reading journey. It’s a very good fairy tale which leaves lot of imagination and fantasy in young child’s mind about Prince and princess story.

Goldilocks and The Three Bears

One more story where a small girl goes alone to the forest and enters into the Bear’s house in which she eats baby Bear’s food, sleeps on baby bear’s bed, sits on baby bear’s chair. Be ready to answer the questions, momma can kids go alone to the forest? Lot of curious questions will pop up in their young mind.

So an adventurous day of a little girl called Goldilocks, who loves everything owned by a baby bear in the forest.

Beauty and the Beast

It’s a good story to introduce something called “Fantasy “. It just shows what all one can do to save the family. The beautiful girl lives with a beast to save her family. When I read this story first time to my daughter she was not happy to accept that how can she leave her parents and live somewhere else without them.

The Ugly Duckling

Though the story looks like normal any other fairy tale, I believe there is lot of hidden meaning and moral in the story. We have make our children to accept someone’s ‘ rejection’ too where the swan egg gets hatched in a duck’s nest and being dark coloured among a group of ducklings the ugly duckling looks odd one out.

The end of the story is quite good and motivating.
