Reading is one of the world\u2019s simplest pleasures , and one of the best ways to spend your time. As well as this, it can also be incredibly beneficial for bolstering your imagination and creativity. The only trouble is, not every book can easily be recommended to everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is perhaps no better time to be introduced to the glory of reading than in the early years of life. Learning to read in the early years can help to breed a great appreciation for reading, and create avid readers for life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what books are appropriate for children in their early years? In fact, what are the best books that 4 year olds will totally love?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Searching for the best book for your child or someone you know? Then look no further than this list, because we\u2019ve spent hours researching to find the 10 absolute best books for children at that age! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The Book With No Pictures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though the idea of a book without any pictures at all may sound counterintuitive when trying to appeal to children, this book balances the lack of pictures with some of the most pitch-perfect humor that will easily get four year olds involved in the reading process! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept behind the book is that anyone reading it has to read every word aloud! This means that even the strangest words like \u201cBluurf\u201d or \u201cBlaggity\u201d need to be read out loud! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These hilarious sounding nonsense words are so funny, and will easily have 4 year olds in bouts of laughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, it\u2019s also totally fun for the adults to read along too, meaning you won\u2019t find yourself bored out of your mind as you read it to your children! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018read aloud\u2019 concept behind this book helps not only to make the book more fun to read, but also helps your child to develop their oral motor skills, and their ability to speak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Day The Crayons Quit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does your child love drawing with crayons? Help them to celebrate that fantastic book which details the story of Duncan, a young boy who suddenly discovers that his crayons have quit, and that they have walked out of his crayon box!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each crayon color has left behind a letter explaining their absence, and Duncan must find a way to attract the crayons back! This book is fantastic because it will help your child to better understand color and how to codify it, but does so in a very creative way that is visually brilliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, the creativity displayed in this book also means you will enjoy reading it too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How Rocket Learned To Read<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rocket, the adorable dog protagonist of this book<\/a> is joined by his little bird friend, as the two attempt to teach Rocket how to read!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is perfect for 4 year olds, because it helps them to externalize their own story of learning how to read, which in turn helps them to learn much more easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book will help your child not only how to read to an accomplished degree, but will also help them to learn how to read words out loud, and internalize the alphabet! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We totally loved how adorable and enjoyable this book proved to be, and also how effective it proved to be as an educational tool! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Grumpy Monkey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even as full-grown adults, understanding and recognizing our emotions can be incredibly difficult, but this is even more so for children of around 4 years of age. This book, Grumpy Monkey<\/em>, is perfect for teaching children to recognize and understand their own emotions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book can prove totally invaluable in improving the emotional intelligence of your child not only so that they can recognize their own feelings and learn to embrace them for better mental health, but they can also learn to empathize with the feelings of others, to recognize when friends or family may be feeling sad or upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
