Classic Children Books

Kids love stories! You can improve your English as well as that of kids through reading best-selling children books. As a parent, make sure to read aloud books for your kids at bedtime.

So please, oh please, we beg, we pray.
Go throw your TV set away.
And in its place you can install.
A lovely bookshelf on the wall.
Then fill the shelves with lots of books.
Ignoring all the dirty looks.

- Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
