8 Year Olds Kids Love These 8 Books

Reading to make 8-year-olds dream away.

When I was eight years old I only remember watching cartoons and binging on too much sugar. Now that I’m no longer eight years old and haven’t been for decades now I can only be baffled by how much potential was wasted during those times. Healthy development comes from healthier choices.

And what can be healthier indicator than introducing kids to one of the healthiest choices early in life? By switching the screen for the pages not only do you introduce them to more detailed stories but it stimulates their own creativity allowing them to come up with creative ways to problem-solving.

This is a young coming-of-age story ideal for children aged 7-9. It follows a young bull on his journey to be part of professional bull riding. Along the way, he learns many life lessons. His trip to bull-riding is also a voyage of self-discovery. As with many children’s books, the story is told through the exploits of animals. Unlike most children’s books, this story manifests itself through a bull (Crash, the name he chose for himself) and a racoon (his sidekick, Trouble), rather than the usual cats, dogs, horses and bunnies.

In the 21st Century, all women can fully embrace their fiery fempower and celebrate their no-holds-barred individuality. It is time to acknowledge the successful women of the world. From the foremothers who blazed trails and broke barriers, to today’s women warriors from sports, science, cyberspace, city hall, the lecture hall, and the silver screen, The Book of Awesome Women paints 200 portraits of powerful and inspiring role models for women and girls poised to become super women of the future.

#8 Coyote Peterson’s Brave Adventures: Wild Animals in a Wild World by Coyote Peterson

Coyote Peterson’s Brave Adventures: Wild Animals in a Wild World by Coyote Peterson Get this book or read more reviews of it by using the links below

Coyote Peterson’s Brave Adventures chronicles some of the wildest encounters Coyote Peterson has had over the course of his travels. The stories begin with his first snapping turtle catch as a kid and lead down a trail of incredible moments he and his camera crew have had while filming their Brave Wilderness shows. From a giant alligator that nearly caught Coyote in its bone crushing jaws to an 800-pound Grizzly Bear that helped him teach the audience what to do-and what NOT do-if you ever encounter one of these enormous creatures in the wild, every tale is laced with fast-paced action and daring adventure. With the presence of danger often looming for Coyote, each story reminds the reader that animals rule the wild places of this planet, and if we respect them from a safe distance, even the most frightening creatures are more likely to be afraid of us than we should ever be of them.
