Children's books that every adult should read

[@Thebeccafowell]

My mum is 57 and she loves middle grade books, there’s definitely no age limit for middle grade 😁

[@BooksNest]

Ahh I love this!!

[@juwanisaac]

I'm 56 and I read middle grade and YA.

[@Ihavthring9]

Glad to hear that because I feel ( I know is dumb) self conscious about it

[@doreenandre3343]

I was in university when I read "Charlotte's Web". I felt embarrassed about reading a children's book so I would only read it at home. Thank you for your video. I now feel normal.

[@BooksNest]

Aw that's such a shame, I think we should all just read what we fancy despite age restrictions!

[@Ihavthring9]

That's why am here..😂

[@courtneybrindley9660]

Coraline is a great one too! Neil Gaiman writes the best “children’s” books

[@BooksNest]

He's such a fab writer!

[@lorrainecotton5414]

I wholeheartedly agree that there shouldn't be an age limit on books.

[@BooksNest]

For sure!

[@lorrainecotton5414]

I'm actually looking for children's classics that I haven't yet read.

[@lorrainecotton5414]

I'm currently reading the David Walliams books

[@toriadz38]

There’s an article about Philip Pullman in the Guardian today, where he talks about the label ‘children’s books’. It’s not a label he gave the books. Another series you might not be familiar with is the Nevermoor series byJessica Townsend. Third book just came out about two weeks ago. I love them

[@BooksNest]

Ahh yes loved the first book in that series!

[@InLoveWithTheRainbow]

Yees! I love the whole Nevermoor series 😍

[@emileejohnson6412]

One of my favorite Christmas gifts a couple years ago was actually a picture book! My mom read it and loved the illustrations, and I do too!

[@BooksNest]

Aw I love that!

[@LaaszloKiss]

Based on the fact you picked Alice in Wonderland as an evergreen classic, maybe you should've considered mentioning The Little Prince from Saint-Exupéry. Although this novel comes in the form of a tale, it was definitely aimed for the child living in all of us adults, so this could be a perfect choice for any adults thinking about reading some children's stories ;-)

[@BooksNest]

Ahh haven't read that one yet!

[@diluc341]

"When Marnie Was There" is really fun book :D! it was my first book i have read but i still reread it

[@Imbatmn57]

I loved chrysanthemum when i was little, i loved that her mother made a dress with alot of pockets and the way her name was written was beautiful.

[@beckyy1094]

I love reading childrens books they're so much fun! Some of my favourites series are Nevermoor, Potkin & Stubbs, Pages & Co & A Pinch of Magic. 🥰 I always find im more interested in reading childrens classics than adult classics too 😂

[@BooksNest]

💛💛

[@bookswithike3256]

My go-to recommendation for this sort of list is The Bartimaeus Sequence (or rather, the original trilogy) by Jonathan Stroud. As a kid, they're fun, clever fantasies, with a really witty narrator. As an adult they're so much more. They're about slavery, they're about classism, they're about a crooked justice system, they're about the corruption of power, they're about watching someone you love turn into a monster. They're utterly brilliannt.

[@racheltfisher]

Great series! Still need to finish the series though 😊

[@snamorsixteen]

Have you also read his series Lockwood and Co.? They're also amazing! Love reading his books

[@bookswithike3256]

@@snamorsixteen I haven't. I own the first book and tried to read it a while ago, but couldn't get into the writing style. I still intend to read it someday though.

[@BooksNest]

I'll have to give that one a google!

[@dragonbabbleyt]

I've yet to read Percy Jackson but I've got it to read so I'm glad this is on the list! :)

[@BooksNest]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@ShannonLeighMusic]

What a wonderful idea! I really need to read Peter Pan. 😊

[@BooksNest]

It's so creative and fun!

[@acnlBeth]

So glad you included Percy Jackson, I really want to read it and am about to turn 21!

[@BooksNest]

So brilliantly creative!

[@sallyandbooks545]

Love this video 💕 I was fairly recently told that adults shouldn't read children's books 😠 and when I said I read graphic novels it was as if I'd done something wrong 😮 I can and do read adult books but I just prefer children books 😍 I've read HDM by Philip Pullman both as an adult/child and have loved it equally each time. I felt I got different things from it depending on when I read it 😍it Thanks for making this video

[@BooksNest]

Rubbish to that, we should read whatever we like, glad you're still reading what you love!

[@louisacoote2337]

I am in my 40’s and love the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus/Magnus Chase/Trials of Apollo books. I have loved Greek/Roman/Norse mythology since I was 8 and they would have been my favourites if they had come out when I was young. They are so well-researched, have interesting characters and are also funny.

[@jakobbourne6381]

If you want something to give to the kids, as a means of a learning book, - you can't go wrong with *personalised childrens books* that are themed for them. They are fun educational books that can be custom made (labels, cover design and character names)

[@mickalaloeffelbein4935]

His dark materials is a great series

[@PrettyPurplePolkaDots]

I loved this video! I first read Alice in Wonderland as an adult and yes, it definitely does have that kind of sparkle to it. I would probably loved it a lot as a child or teen, too.

[@BooksNest]

It's such a fab book!

[@louisacoote2337]

I also like to read books before I give them to the children I am buying them for, to make sure they won’t upset them or have something that the parents might disapprove of.

[@hobsyllwin2562]

My alltime favourite is the Mice Of Brambly Hedge Series 💓

[@racheltfisher]

Lovely series, I think I still have my original book/s

[@hobsyllwin2562]

Rachel Fisher Yes, I still have mine wich I got when I was in elementary school ❤️

[@hobsyllwin2562]

Winter is my favourite

[@BooksNest]

Ohh haven't heard of that one!

[@susanmacaluso5218]

Thank you for posting this video. I have a book suggestion: "Chewy Marmot", by S.E. Spracher. 611 pages, imaginative and thought provoking.

[@jackcleary5844]

I am 18 soon on the 24th October 2021 and I still read stuff between 8-12 like captin underpands and many more

[@teresarosereads]

I've been wanting to read Peter Pan for so long!!

[@BooksNest]

It's such a fun read!

[@Imbatmn57]

10:17 another book thats in a simular vein is forgotten princesses.

[@TheBookishMom]

I picked up Alice in Wonderland and will be reading it with my daughter very soon

[@BooksNest]

yaaayy!!

[@BooksNest]

A lovely quote 💛

[@AdrianasWonderland]

great video, thank you

[@cupofteastudio]

We would love to share 'A Secret Behind The Bungalow' by Uncle Nafee. We're now working on its animation film production and need your feedbacks.

[@mistymitchell2790]

Went to a thrift store and picked up a few kid/middle grade books, some I never read as a kid, the lady on the same aisle was like, "I dont see any kids with you, are you buying them for your kids? I said no I'm buying them for myself, the lady shook her head and said you should be ashamed taking from kids, you need to put them back on the shelf."

[@BooksNest]

Oh my god what?? That’s so awful! I’m sorry you had that experience. What a rude and dismissive thing to say. There’s no age limit on enjoying a good book!

[@jpkidstudio8746]

Good books

[@alanperks6029]

Hi Would you or your followers be interested in reading a free Mobi (kindle) or PDF of Island of Adventure? If so, please let me know and I will forward a copy, no strings, just a genuine offer so children of 7+ can have a good read. I love writing but hate social media, therefore no one knows about the 13 books that are out there and are missing out on very good reads. Kind regards John Day

[@Yesica1993]

The His Dark Materials series is one of the most wicked things ever written. Doubly so because it was written for children.
