If someone asks, “Why do people need to read?” I believe that there will be a variety of answers, but back to the root, in a word: reading is for learning. However, this kind of learning is not the same as learning in the classroom. Reading is an active, entertaining and it’s not a direct way of education, which enables children to unconsciously accept the knowledge or ideas in books while reading, so as to broaden their horizons and complete the growth of thoughts unconsciously. Therefore, we recommend some books that they are both entertaining and educational, hoping that children can enjoy reading them.
