Books for 4 year olds

Little readers can learn so much

Impactful Books for 4 year Olds

Our books for 4 year olds will enthral while providing important opportunities to develop listening, speaking, reading and ultimately writing skills. It’s true! Research has shown that children whose parents read to them when they are young learn to speak, read and write more easily. With the hundreds of topics that we have your child can learn about Australia, the world, themselves, other people, emotions, about fantasy and heroes, magical encounters and much more.

Most four-year olds will be attending pre-school where storytelling will be a part of their day. However reading at home together is still special time you get to spend with your child any time of the day. Also, at this age children can start to amuse themselves by looking at books and recognising elements.

Our books for 4 year olds include stunning picture books, international best sellers, legendary Australian stories, timeless classics, and bright and hilarious new voices. All our books are new, good quality – and heavily discounted! We’ve also got colouring and activity books with stickers and sparkly pens for those who like to create.

Here’s a few ideas to get you started:

The following books or subject matters are always popular:

Fairy tales, like Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood and Puss in Boots – retold to focus on a distinct sound for each illustrated scene
The Man from Snowy River – there is no greater Australian bush hero than this legend and his famous downhill ride
Maurice Sendak’s classic, Where The Wild Things Are
Julie Donaldson’s legendary The Gruffalo and also Room on My Broom
Books about not giving up and self-acceptance like Love the Skin you Are In and Be Exactly Who you Are
Mem Fox’s Possum Magic which has enchanted children for over 35 years
Maisy Mouse books – lots of adventures to be had
Stories about dinosaurs and space, about cars and trucks for little rev-heads
Horse books like Noni the Pony for animal lovers
