if your kid liked…then they’ll love….

✨ If your kid loved The Phantom Tollbooth, hand them Life on the Moon next. Same smart-kid weirdness, big ideas, and hilarious deadpan energy, but this time in space. Feels like a forgotten classic in the best way.

✨ If you love Winnie-the-Pooh, you’ll adore Skunk and Badger. Cozy, funny, quietly wise, and full of friendship chaos. Basically Pooh Bear with roommate problems.

✨ If Academy was a hit, try Ghost next. Same emotional honesty and underdog energy, but with track instead of soccer.

✨ If your reader is obsessed with The Bad Beginning, they’re ready for You Are Now Old Enough to Hear This. Weird, eerie, funny, and the kind of book that makes kids feel delightfully unsettled.
