Ever felt completely overwhelmed in the library or bookshop when trying to select a good book for your kids? One that they and you will love and that won't sit on a shelf collecting dust after just one read? If you answered yes, this episode is for you. I am talking about prolific authors who write greats stories and whose books are easily available (especially in our part of the world).

We are on the third and final part of our chat about books to read to our kids in that first year and more importantly, curating shelves in this year that will last a lifetime. In Part 1 we looked at what reading aloud might look like when our children are little more than pooping, feeding, sleeping machines and in Part 2 we went into the “why should we read” to these littlest of humans and I gave some recommendations for books that I believe should be on all shelves because they are truly lifelong reads. In this episode, we are going to explore author collections and boxsets that are great for the first year of reading but that will be a staple in your home for decades to come because these are stories that do not go out of fashion.
