I am always on the lookout for quality books to help me discuss big topics with my daughter. Since we have recently been dealing with some grief in our family, I have been looking for ways to discuss loss with her.

Classic Literature for Kids

Introduce kids to the classics with classic literature for kids! #classics #classicliterature #classicliteratureforkids #kidsclassics #picturebooks #kidlit #kidsbooks #teachingkidstheclassicsIt always makes me smile when my daughter is interested in something that seems much too old for her. As I have mentioned before, she is a fan of classical music. She also recognizes some famous paintings and artists (Thanks “Little Einsteins”!). She was given a set of literature primers before she was born, and I love reading them to her and sharing some of the classic literature that she cannot understand yet. Many of our favorite stories were built on the backs of other stories like them, so it’s important that we introduce kids to the classics that inspired generations of writers. So today I’m sharing some of our favorite versions of classic literature for kids. These are a fun way to introduce kids to important pieces of literature and the authors who created them.
