Best Free Kindle Books for Kids: Fabulous Books to Start the Summer

As a mom, a children’s librarian and a teacher, I know that there is nothing more important than getting our kids to learn to love reading. I am an avid reader and have been since I was a child. Out of my four children, two love to read and two avoid it like the plague. I discovered during my time as a children’s librarian that even the most reluctant of readers can be engaged–the trick is finding the right book.

Amazon Kindle offers thousands of free books every day, and many of those are for kids. Today we look at the best Free Kindle books for kids, just in time for summer. Even if our kids just read one or two books this summer, it’s one or two more than they had read before summer started!

Awesome Top Kindle Books for Mother’s Day: Deserve Some Love and Honor

Grown don’t mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown? What’s that suppose to mean? In my heart it don’t mean a thing. ~Toni Morrison, Beloved

Mom’s Day… the busiest phone-call day of the year. Flowers, candy, perfume, candles, breakfast in bed…no matter how you celebrate it, make sure that you do it well! Whether you take your mom out for a nice lunch or throw some steaks on the BBQ and pour her a glass of wine, no doubt she will feel pampered and loved.

Don’t Let Me Go

Billy Shine has not been outside his apartment in almost a decade. He knows who his neighbors are…but they don’t know him. When nine-year-old Grace begins sitting outside on the stoop for hours every day, Billy finally works up the nerve to ask her why she’s outside. “If I sit inside nobody will know I’m in trouble. And then nobody will help me.” So begins a heart-breaking, funny and life-affirming story of a bunch of misfits who join together over one small girl, and begin to live again.

Kindle Best Sellers 2014: Did you read the Best Selling Kindle Books in 2014?

I have decided that 2014 is going to be the year of great books. Seriously. Every time I open up Amazon, I find 50 more books that I want to buy and download and neglect the children for. Sometimes the literary world gets dry, and I just don’t find much that pulls me in. This is not those times. I don’t know if writers have been saving their best for last, or if maybe they’ve been watching the market to see what kind of books we really really want (Spice Girls–you’re welcome. It will be stuck in your head until Sunday.) ANYWAY. Whatever the reason, I am super excited about the books that are out right now. There is even some really great Science Fiction out there, and that really isn’t a genre that I like much.

One of the great things about Amazon is the way that they pull out best sellers and get them front and center. I am constantly seeing a book referenced in another piece of literature, or a newspaper, or magazine, or on the back of the cereal box (Really-I read everything) and when I go to hunt for it on Amazon, most of the time it is right there on the front page and I don’t even have to look any further. Today’s Kindle Best Sellers 2014 are going to knock your socks off. Really. Pay attention, people. This is good stuff.

Divergent (Divergent Series)

This is the first book in the Divergent series. Even if you don’t like Science Fiction, you are going to like this. Fan of the Hunger Games? You’ll love this more. Set in the future, the series tells the story of a utopian society where everyone “knows their place”. When 16 year-old Tris dares to declare herself different, the people in charge will stop at nothing to eliminate her, and the threat that she poses. This series meets Common Core Standards, and will hook even the most reluctant reader.

Kindle Monthly Deals April 2014: New Reads Just in Time for Spring!

The convenience of a Kindle is pretty much unmatched, especially for travelers like me. Before, I would purchase book after book and pray that my luggage wasn’t bursting at the seams by the time I got done packing. Now, much to my husband’s relief, I just tuck my Kindle into my carry-on and hop aboard with an entire library at my fingertips! No more overweight luggage or crazy heavy carry-on that I hope no one actually weighs before I get on the plane–just 700 or so books right there in one neat, compact place.

One of my very favorite things about Kindle is all of the fantastic deals that they have. In addition to the thousands of books available for free each day, there are daily, weekly and monthly deals that make building my library both exciting and economical. Today’s post is focused on the Kindle monthly deals for April. Now that spring has finally sprung, I am looking forward to some time outside on the deck with a cup of coffee and some new reads. The selection today is just full of fun books from all different genres–you’re sure to find something that you can get lost in!

The Dark Monk: A Hangman’s Daughter Tale (US Edition)

The second in the Hangman’s Daughter series, this medieval tale of murder and intrigue will have you searching for the rest of the series before you’ve even finished it. Magdalena and Simon are once again in the middle of a mystery…one that will take them all the way to the Knights Templar. One of my all time favorite series!
