Books offer children the ability to expand their imagination. Sometimes it’s this early imagination that keeps them going long into adulthood. Here are five books young girls might enjoy reading.

Five Best Ever Children’s Books for Young Girls - Reading opens the world up to young readers. They can fly a plane or sail a ship around the world, all from the comfort of their own bedroom. Reading gives children the imagination they need to dream of a future in vivid color. Nothing is beyond the realm of possibility for them and neither should it be. Here are my choices for the five best ever children’s books for young girls.

1. Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers - Young girls always think of their mothers as wonderful and loving. But then, one day all of a sudden young girls think that their mothers don’t understand or know anything. Mothers begin to think that they’ve stumbled into another universe where their daughters are totally alien beings who make no sense. What would happen if mothers and daughters could change places and see how the other half lives? That is exactly what happens in Freaky Friday. A mother and daughter get to experience each other’s lives.

2. Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White - Fern is a caring, compassionate young girl that wants to keep Wilbur, the runt of the new pig litter. Her uncle says that he won’t survive, but Fern is determined to prove him wrong. She takes Wilbur under her wing and nurses him until he is as fine a pig as there ever was. But then she faces a new challenge-how to save Wilbur from the supper table. With the help of a creative spider named Charlotte who lives in the barn, Wilbur embarks on an adventure from unknown runt to famous pig. Through it all he learns who his real friends are and how, despite tragedy, life must go on.

3. 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith - Pongo and Missis Pongo are two pampered Dalmatians that meet and fall in love. Their owners, the Dearly’s love them very much. The pair has a litter of fifteen puppies. All of them are adorable with their little black spots. Someone else becomes interested in the puppies-Cruella De Vil. She wants to use their coats to make Dalmatian fur coats. She hires a couple of bungling idiots to kidnap the puppies. Unfortunately for them, Pongo and Missis Pongo have friends in canine places that help them to locate the kidnapped puppies.

4. Are you there God, it’s me, Margaret by Judy Blume - Judy Blume has always been a favorite for young girls and this book is no different. Meet Margaret Simon. She is a young girl who is coming of age and has questions about her body and who she is supposed to be. She is a typical young girl who is dealing with moving away from her grandmother, her school and her friends. Will she make new friends in New Jersey? Judy knows how to get at the heart of a young girl and address the tough issues that we all want answered. This book is a must for young girls the world over.

5. Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll - Mr. Carroll has a wonderful imagination and puts it to good use in this tale of a young girl who escapes into a magical world. Alice finds her way into wonderland. Once there, she meets the March Hare, the Cheshire cat, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum, and the Mad Hatter amongst others. She must also battle the Red Queen to save herself and her friends. How will she do it? You’ll have to read the book. If you’ve ever read anything by Lewis Carroll, you’ll notice many fabulous twists and turns in this book. Young girls will feel as if they are traveling along with Alice.

The world of adventure begins with a book. Young girls want to get lost in this world too. Here they can be whoever they want to be. Give a young girl one of these terrific books and watch her mind soar.
