10 Great New Children’s Books Out in October 2026
I recently decided to sort through my overstuffed shelves in search of books to give away: the ones I’m not likely to read again, the ones my kids aren’t interested in reading, the ones I was never all that fond
In October 2026, there are ten new children's books that are worth considering for purchase, despite the urge to donate them to a worthy cause. These books cater to a wide range of ages, from babies to young adults. The first title, "Which One Can You Eat?" by Risa Kusumoto and illustrated by E.B. Goodale, is recommended for ages 0-3.
This humorous board book features pairs of objects, one edible and one inedible, challenging young readers to ponder whether to put the object in their mouths. The illustrations are bright and appealing, evoking a sense of nostalgia. Another recommended book, "Robin and the Moon" by E.B. Goodale and illustrated by Alessandra Requena, is aimed at ages 3-6.
This picture book follows Robin as they interact with the moon during a full moon night, creating a magical and nostalgic experience for both readers and Robin. Lastly, "I Don't Care What Simon Says" by Alessandra Requena and illustrated by Aki Tundra is recommended for ages 3-7. This story revolves around Fifi discovering a group of children following the commands of an unseen figure named Simon, leading to humorous scenarios and a comedic exploration of authority and imagination.
These ten new titles offer a diverse selection for children and young adults, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy.
