These are best boxed book sets on Amazon! (As judged by me the children’s books that my own kids love.) These giant boxed book sets make great Christmas gifts for kids. Boxed sets make reading fun for even reluctant readers. Some of these are classic children’s book series. Others are current popular elementary school books series and others work better for older kids and teens. All of these book series are well loved by my own kids.

Her love of reading can be traced back to this and children’s picture books.

My older daughter got a boxed set of six Nancy Drew books as a Christmas present from my aunt one year and fell in love with them. To her disappointment, we couldn’t find them in any libraries. So I had to hunt down each of the books one by one for what turned out to be a big Christmas present for the next year. But she loved the books so much, and read them over and over, that we definitely got our money’s worth! Lucky you! You can find boxed sets on Amazon now and put the entire series together much faster.
