The Best Books to Read to your Kids (ages 4-12)

 “Since it is so likely that [your kids] will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage…Let there be wicked kings and beheadings, battles and dungeons, giants and dragons, and let villains be soundly killed at the end of the book. Nothing will persuade me that this causes an ordinary child any kind or degree of fear beyond what it wants, and needs, to feel. For, of course, it wants to be a little frightened.”
-CS Lewis
