Best Book Series for Kindergartners
Last updated: November 4, 2025
As kids start to move from picture books to chapter books, these engaging series will help ease the transition. And once they're hooked on the characters and setting in Book 1, kids will be hungry to keep going with book after book, building vocabulary and reading comprehension. Humor, action, mystery, and stories of friends, family, and animals make these hits with early readers. In some cases, we've done a series review. In others, we've reviewed the first or a later book in the series. For additional surefire picks, check out our Funny Books for Kids and Best Book Series lists.
