Sparking a Lifelong Love of Reading with LoveReading4Kids

At a time when children’s reading for pleasure is in decline and at its lowest levels since records began, helping young readers find books they truly love has never been more important. That’s where LoveReading4Kids comes in.

LoveReading4Kids is one of the UK’s leading children’s book recommendation sites and an online bookstore with social purpose. But it’s much more than just a place to buy books. Since 2005 it’s been a trusted guide for families, offering expertly curated recommendations to help children discover stories that excite, inspire and help them fall in love with books.

Because every child is different.

Some children devour fantasy adventures. Others fall in love with funny stories.  For some it’s gripping mysteries.  For others it’s all about comics and graphic novels. Some adore non-fiction; factual books are what makes them engage. But one thing is clear – the magic happens when a child finds that book. The book that makes them laugh out loud, stay up past bedtime or proudly announce, “I’m a reader!”

That moment matters.

Research shows that children who read for pleasure perform better across the curriculum, develop stronger empathy and communication skills, and build the confidence that supports them throughout life. Yet many families feel overwhelmed by choice or unsure where to start. That’s why LoveReading4Kids focuses on carefully selected recommendations – books reviewed by experts, educators and a vibrant Kids Review Panel – so parents and carers can feel confident they’re choosing something special. The right book, at the right time, for the right child.

From board books for babies to gripping YA fiction for teens, LoveReading4Kids covers every stage of a child’s reading journey. Whether you’re searching for a reluctant reader, a book-mad teen, or the perfect birthday gift, you’ll find thoughtfully curated lists, themed recommendations and hidden gems alongside beloved classics and bestselling favourites.

And there’s something even more powerful behind every purchase.

LoveReading4Kids operates a community-powered funding model that supports school libraries across the UK. When families choose to buy through the LoveReading4Kids online bookstore, 25% of the value of their purchase can be donated to a school of their choice. It’s a simple idea with a big impact: buy a book for your home, and help fund books for your community.

At a time when many school libraries face significant funding challenges, this model helps ensure more children have access to diverse, inclusive and inspiring books – especially those who might not otherwise have them at home. It’s about creating the next generation of readers, together.

For families, that means every bedtime story, every holiday read, every carefully chosen gift can make a difference beyond your own household.

LoveReading4Kids doesn’t just promote books. It champions reading for pleasure, supports schools, and helps children discover stories that build empathy, encourage curiosity and make them feel seen.

Because books change lives – and it all starts with helping a child fall in love with reading.

Buy a Book. Support a School. Make a Difference.
