Here is my recommended Comprehensive Children’s Reading List.

 

You’ll notice that, for the most part, they are beloved classics.  It’s true that some of these classics are available to download free of charge to a tablet.  However, I find that my children would prefer a “real book” (their words, not mine 🙂 ), over words on a tablet. 

 

I’ve compiled the reading list according to my top five picks at each reading level, from infant to reading level 6, easily making it a comprehensive children’s reading list.  You can find these books from Amazon.com thru the links provided.
