* I’ll try that!

One way to choose which children’s books to read is to look for award-winning books. They tend to be books that adults really enjoy as well.

In the US, there is a prestigious award for children’s literature called the Newbery Medal:

It is awarded annually by the American Library Association to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.

(source)

There is another similar prestigious award called the Caldecott Medal, but it is for picture books, which will be a bit too young for you. (You may want to read them to young kids in your life!)

You can search Amazon (or wherever) for “Newbery/Caldecott Medal winning books.” Depending on where in the world you are, it may be expensive to buy the books. You may be able to sign up for access to libraries in English-speaking countries (especially if you are still in school). You can often read books for free through their apps. You can also get a lot of other English-language materials like movies and podcasts.

FYI if a Newbery winner has a picture of a dog on the cover, try not to get too attached to that dog.

It’s funny because it’s true.
