Looking to give Goodnight Moon a little extra shelf time (and well deserved break)? Freshen up family story time by adding 12 fantastic new books for ages 3-11. From early readers to chapter books and graphic novels, flip through the album below to discover your budding bookworm’s latest literary fave.

Piper Green and the Fairy Tree

Ages: 5-8

Some of the most engaging books are ones in which the setting is almost a character in and of itself (think Hogwarts in Harry Potter or the Plaza Hotel in Eloise). That’s certainly the case here. Who wouldn’t want to live on an island in Maine, where you have to take a lobster boat to get to school and you might just find a magic fairy tree in your backyard (as happens to Piper Green in the first installment)? Fans of Magic Tree House and Junie B. Jones will want to sink their teeth into this one.
