New & Awesome Kids’ Books Written by Celebrities

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 Alphabet from A to Y With Bonus Letter Z!” by Steve Martin

About the Author: Of course this comedian/actor/musician can write! The original wild-and-crazy guy has written novels, plays, novellas, screenplays and now a brand new musical with Edie Brickell. Your kids might know him from the remakes of Cheaper by the Dozen and The Pink Panther.

About the Book: You might buy The Alphabet from A to Y With Bonus Letter Z! because it’s written by Steve Martin. But it will quickly become your very favorite alphabet book because it will entrance your kids (and you) for reading after reading -- and when the kids rediscover it a few years later, they’ll love it all over again. The rhymes are ridiculous, the words are silly and the pictures will entertain for hours as you seek all the words starting with each letter.

Ages: 2 & up
