getting kids to read is hard. I've tried to read to classes a few times (and got a little kid who actually swore at me! O,O) so I can agree trying to get them interested is often a hard thing to do. But when I worked at the bookstore I loved helping people find books especially children. I would ask the parents if they needed help and then ask the child what they like. often the answer was cars, princesses, pirates, fairies, dogs or cats. But I was always able to find a book that they could read, or that their parents could read to them.
So here I made a list of great Step into reading beginner books!
here is a list of some of the best books available on amazon. My niece loves the Disney fairies and the Disney princesses. I try to read to her whenever she comes to visit (I slip classics into there often!!!)
all of these illustrated fairy tales were handpicked by myself. for their beautiful and eye catching art work. The stories in the list are timeless, and come from all places. from many variations of Cinderella to different tales of Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel, to the tale of The Little Match Girl.
These stories are perfect for girls or even boys (think the Nutcracker). And they can keep the books and treasure them to pass them down maybe. ^.-
A lovely retelling of Beauty and the Beast Robin Mckinely spins a beautiful (if you'll pardon the pun) tale. Robin makes the whole world of her book visible with her lavish descriptions of the places and characters.
A strange imprisonment
Beauty has never
liked her nickname. She is thin and awkward; it is her two sisters who
are the beautiful ones. But what she lacks in looks, she can perhaps
make up for in courage.
When her father comes home with the tale
of an enchanted castle in the forest and the terrible promise he had to
make to the Beast who lives there, Beauty knows she must go to the
castle, a prisoner of her own free will. Her father protests that he
will not let her go, but she answers, "Cannot a Beast be tamed?"
Robin McKinley's beloved telling illuminates the unusual love story of a most unlikely couple: Beauty and the Beast.

Amazon.com Review
This much-loved retelling of the classic French tale Beauty and the Beast
elicits the familiar magical charm, but is more believable and complex
than the traditional story. In this version, Beauty is not as beautiful
as her older sisters, who are both lovely and kind. Here, in fact,
Beauty has no confidence in her appearance but takes pride in her own
intelligence, her love of learning and books, and her talent in riding.
She is the most competent of the three sisters, which proves essential
when they are forced to retire to the country because of their father's
financial ruin. The plot follows that of the renowned legend:
Beauty selflessly agrees to inhabit the Beast's castle to spare her
father's life. Beauty's gradual acceptance of the Beast and the
couple's deepening trust and affection are amplified in novel form.
Robin McKinley's writing has the flavor of another century, and Beauty
heightens the authenticity as a reliable and competent narrator.
This was McKinley's first book, written almost 20 years ago. Since that time she has been awarded the Newbery Medal for The Hero and the Crown and has delighted her fans with another retelling of the Beauty and the Beast fable, Rose Daughter. Still, McKinley's first novel has a special place in the hearts of her devoted readers, many of whom attest to relishing Beauty time and again. (Ages 11 to Adult)--This text refers to the
Hardcover
edition.
