At LitVox, we believe it has never been more important that children read. Reading is the single greatest tool for firing a kid's imagination, the greatest resource for building confidence, and definitely offers more valuable entertainment than a tablet, phone or TV.  As Ireland Reads launches in a few days, we thought we'd present LitVox readers with a list of the very best kids books of recent years. We've tried to include something for everyone here; Boys & Girls, Book nerds and sporty kids, confident readers & those who need a helping hand. We've also included one or two that are amazing reads no matter what your age.
