Each conscious parent wants to give his youngest offspring only the best and the most useful. Since we ourselves are not able to present all the information about the world around us, children's books for children of 10 years old become our indispensable helpers. It is about the works for this age range that we will talk about.
Why is reading so important?
Today, the book is a source of information, because it is beautifully illustrated and carries a large amount of useful information, forms a worldview and participates in the formation of character. Thanks to reading, the amount of information increases in children, the child begins to perceive different patterns of behavior, learns to distinguish between what is good and what is bad. Books teach friendship, learn to achieve goals, beat different life situations. Such benefits become our faithful friends in difficult moments when it is necessary to find the only existing solution that will allow us to get out of the current, usually difficult situation.
Aksakov's works are an excellent choice
What books are for children 9-10 years old can recommend? Why not pay attention to such a work by S. Aksakov as “The Scarlet Flower”, which is one of the wisest and kindest tales? Here the author tries to cultivate mercy and compassion. Good conquers evil, and isn't that what we should teach our children?
What sense did the writer want to invest in the image of the scarlet flower? This botanical instance is a symbol of true strong love. Under its influence, any personality is transformed, it becomes better, kinder. Compassion, love and kindness are the main human feelings that can change not only the inner world of your offspring, but also everything around them that will make them more beautiful and better.
Learning to be responsive and love nature
What other interesting books for children 10 years old can I recommend? It is worth noting the work of Gabriel Troepolsky, which, perhaps, is familiar to everyone - “White Bim, Black Ear”. The author shows us that kindness and attention give rise to such important characteristics of a person as reciprocity, sincere love and devotion, teach to be kind, responsive and honest.
After reading this work, the reader begins to understand that our smaller brothers need to be treated with kindness, love and affection. After all, we are responsible for those whom we have taken and tamed.
In conclusion, I would like to note that “White Bim, the Black Ear” is one of many works on nature, the main purpose of which is to teach people to love, respect and protect the nature that surrounds us.
We are all from childhood
If you pick up books for children 10-12 years old, pay special attention to the work of Mark Twain "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." This unique thing can be read endlessly, return to it again and again. And each time the reader will find something new for himself. If you decide which books for children of 10 years old should be in the library, then this is the one to be put in a place of honor. After all, even the most striking, unusual and impressive works of us are still forgotten over time. And it happens that you look at your bookshelf, read the names of familiar authors and the names of their immortal works, and it seems that you remember exactly what this book is telling about, but, alas, the memory faded quite a lot over the years, and from the very first lines you plunge into an extraordinary invented world that is so amazing and alluring that the reader instantly finds itself outside of reality. So it will be with your child. From the first lines, the reader is immersed in an adventure world full of colors and impressions. Probably many of us were the same Tom Sawyer in childhood. Perhaps not so bold, desperate, skillful in inventions, not so lively, not so bright, but nevertheless, much of the invented by Tom Sawyer is or was in each of us. "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" will not leave anyone indifferent. It seems that it is not fate that sends the hero a test; on the contrary, he tests fate. We would call many of his actions senseless, but the hero piously believes his ideals, is confident in his victory. And this cannot but delight the reader. And I want all of us to remember at least sometimes that we come from childhood, where the world always remains sunny.

Learning to value friends and love nature
Books for children of 10 years are not limited to the above works. For example, “Mowgli” by Rudyard Kipling also takes pride of place on the shelf of any student. This is the story of an Indian boy named Mowgli, who was raised by wolves. He grew up in their pack and ate the milk of a she-wolf, which replaced his mother. The mind and courage allow him to survive in difficult conditions in the jungle. Here he finds not only loyal and good friends, but also patrons: Akelu, Balu, the graceful panther Bagheera and the Kaa boa. Brave Mowgli will face many dangerous adventures, which will be overcome by the loyalty of friends and following the Law of the Jungle. The book about Mowgli captivates with descriptions of exotic nature and animals, whether it is a graceful panther or a hulking bear. Reading this book, the child begins to believe in the beauty and harmony of the world.
Learning to be kind and merciful
Recommended books for children of 10 years old include the work of Michael Gershenzon "Robin Hood." This is the hero of legends known to all. For several centuries, his figure has attracted the attention of famous artists. Literary works are written about him, films are made, performances are staged, and his popularity does not fade away. There are many artistic versions of Robin Hood. This is a good archer who lived in the forest with his army of shooters. He was brave and noble, struggled with brutal injustice, protecting the poor. He was called a robber from Sherwood Forest, who took purses from the rich and generously distributed money to the poor. He is merciless to those who cheat and rob people, and always defends the destitute, the weak and the poor. And also Robin Hood - cheerful and witty, courageous, fair and rather resourceful. The book teaches us how to be kinder and softer in relation to each other, recalls mercy and sympathy.
