The Living Books List is simply that-a gigantic list of living books (over 650) for all ages and reading levels, organized and searchable. (Never heard of "living books"? Keep reading...)

Why is it here? One way we make our out-of-the-box life efficient is to integrate learning wherever we can. Good books are key. Plus, I wanted a list of great living books all in one place. Whether you're a parent, a grandparent, a teacher, an aunt, an uncle or anyone who loves or gives books, you might consider these.

What are my favorites?

The LBL is big and can be overwhelming. I haven't read all of them, but I have read hundreds of kids' books over the years. I highlight my most favorite books on this page on Amazon (look in the middle-ish).

How to Use the Living Books List

Use the controls at the top of the list to search, scroll through the pages, filter out only the entries you want to see (like reading level, subject, etc.) and control how many books show up in the list at once. Remember, there are over 650 of them! I've also begun linking to related online resources in the Notes section as I find them. Enjoy!

What is a living book?

In case you're unfamiliar with the concept, living books are well-written and offer more to the reader than fluff. Living books teach about life, character and the human spirit. Many times they teach an academic concept in a fun and engaging way. They are the polar opposite of a dry, boring text book.

Where does the list come from?

Many of the titles included in the list are ones we have read and enjoyed in our family. However, we have not read them all (yet) so I also include recommendations from other trusted sources like:
