New & Awesome Kids’ Books Written by Celebrities

by Meghan Rose

They act, sing, inspire and make you laugh. Brilliantly. That should be enough! But these über-talented people also write children’s books — ones that are amazing enough to keep on your kiddo’s nightstand and read again and again. Click through our gallery to discover the best reads from the coolest multi-hyphenates around.

“The Land of Stories Series” by Chris Colfer

About the Author: Your favorite Glee song-and-dance man is also a big fan of fairy tales. So he’s writing his first series of books (to date there are three books, with more planned) that are all about what happens when you come face to face with your favorite fairy tale characters.

About the Book: In The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell (Book 1), twins Alex and Conner find themselves falling into a book of their favorite fairy tales, where all the stories come to life and they have no way of getting out. These books really resonate with kids, as read-alones or read-alouds, especially reluctant readers. And that makes them a big hit in our book.

Ages: 9 & up to read alone, 7 & up to read aloud
