What's the best place to find good children's books?
I'm looking for books to starting off teaching my 3yr old and 5yr old to read...and I'm shopping online, so any good ideas? like what type of books are the best or helped for your kids?
Depends on what you want to teach your children. If you're talking cultural, you'd want a merchandising mag from that country. If you're talking general (English, numbers, etc.) then you can check out Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Nobles, etc.
A more fun and money saving way would be to join up at a local library, that way you can change the childrens books so its not always the same and it doesnt cost you what it would to buy books your children will never read again when they are bigger. Also you can change the books to grow with your childrens knowledge...
Good Luck!!
I've written a few pages about my own kids' favorite books. They're all really common and you can find them anywhere. I mainly focus on more "fun" books that actually teaching books. For teaching reading skills I recommend the BOB books. They're only about $12 for a set and my kids really enjoyed them - once you know what you want, Amazon is the easiest (because you don't have to go through the whole shopping extravaganza with kiddos in tow) and I think they still have a buy 3/get the 4th free promo going on now with most of their books and you save on gas by getting free shipping over $25. I live in the boonies, so online shopping is my friend.
As a former teacher, I highly recommend Usborne Books. They are a publishing company based in London that have fantastic selections that are both challenging and engaging to young readers.
I have bought quite a few because my almost 2 year old reads them over and over again. Usborne has books for readers up to teens, so there would be something for your children as well.
Some specialty children's stores carry them. Borders carries some of them. I would check to see if there is a seller in your area (they do parties kind of like Pampered Chef).
if you click on a book and then look to the right, sometimes they have discounted used books that you can buy for a cheaper price then buying it straight out brand new. I buy $20 books for $3 a lot of times, it can add up in savings!
Also, because books are pricey, I have found going to a used book store can save a bundle! Plus they basically look brand new!

Dr. Seuss books are great for kids learning to read. Reading to kids even before they start learning to read is also beneficial.
Barnes and Noble is awesome! I really like these books, and a lot of times you can find "bargain" books.
Your local library.
I buy a lot of my books from TJMaxx, Marshalls and Berlington Coat factory. They are so cheap and in great condition, new.
chapters/indigo has everything! (in stores and online)
