Children love predictable books with rhythm and rhyming, and they are attracted to books with a strong core and to universal themes such as good vs. evil. Parents always look for books that are unique, exciting and captivating, with quality writing and simple, creative & original ideas; ultimately, with a good story. Parents are also interested in creative learning books like activity books, drawing books, craft and picture books accompanied by moral story books, do it yourself and educational books for children. You could also consult a good publishing house to get insight knowledge of good quality books and source books accordingly from wholesalers.

You should stock books for all age groups from infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school going kids and teenage groups. Books for toddlers may include rhymes, songs and chant books. For preschoolers, you may stock books like traditional tales, fairy-tales alongside informational books. Also include a range of fiction and nonfiction story books, poetry, fantasy and historical fiction as well as biography books to your collection.

All kids are fascinated to read their name printed on a book; personalised notebooks and story books bearing a child's personalised information are a great gift option which you should consider offering. If you are willing to source from overseas, consider sourcing personalised books from the following USA based wholesaler, "Custom Made For Kids". They offer a beautiful range of personalised notebooks alongside photo placemats and personalised calendars.
