Must-Read Books for Young to Middle Readers (6-9 Years) | HarperCollins Children’s Books

Share

It is a well-known fact that developing the habit of reading early exercises the brain and teaches children how to think at a young age. Besides the obvious reasons, reading also allows the next generation to expand their horizons, exposing them to thoughts, perspectives and ideas that they would have been otherwise unexposed to. Help your child further enhance this gift with our list of books for young readers between the ages of six to nine.
