Books make some of the best gifts for kids, especially if you need ideas for family gifts or siblings. I always love when my kids are gifted new books we haven't heard of with a note in the front from friends. We polled the community on what your family's favorite books are, ones that your kids want to read over and over again, regardless of age. The fan favorites quickly became clear, the same books were mentioned countless times. So we have compiled the top books to add to your collection and save for gift ideas for others!

Outside of these recommendations, the most popular series of books that are always a hit inlude: The Little Blue Truck, Pete the Cat, Construction Site, Sandra Boynton books and Eric Carle books.
