In first grade, kids are just getting started with independent reading. I strongly believe that reading enjoyment is important, especially for early readers. If you don’t read kids’ books for your own entertainment (I do!) you might have trouble coming up with some suggestions for your kids. But better than my suggestions, are the suggestions of another kid. Here are 4 of the best books for boys, my son’s favorite books in first grade.

Best books for boys Garfield Garfield, by Jim Davis – Cartoon books are great for beginning readers, especially boys. Garfield is a classic that my son found really funny. (Read about my son’s love for the fat cat in my post Growing Readers – helping your kids become readers.)

Best books for boys Adam Sharp Adam Sharp, by George Edward Stanley – (series) Books with lots of colorful pictures about an 8-year old spy who looks sharp and is plenty smart.

Best books for boys Magic Treehouse Magic Treehouse, by Mary Pope Osborne (series) – An easy to read chapter book series about a boy, a girl, and the journeys they take in their magical treehouse.
