What is a classic children's/adult book? It is a book whose qualities are: unforgettable characters, top-notch writing, outstanding artwork, over-the-moon silliness too. A book can be considered a classic by its staying power in the marketplace and its ability to remain popular with young readers generations after generations. I am going to break down the classic books by age catagories.
Baby and Toddler: Ages 1 -3
These books are perfect for a first library. Some are soft cloth, some are heavy-duty board books that can withstand drooling and chewing upon. They usually are the perfect size for little hands to turn pages and manipulate. They often have eye-popping, large, colourful artwork and sometimes are pop-ups or lift the flaps to engage your child further with the story.
