Wholesome & Uplifting Books for Young Boys: Christian Reading Guide

As a homeschool mom and a Christ-follower, I am constantly looking for wholesome and uplifting books for my kids. We have been in a sweet season of reading aloud in our home, so I am determined to find wholesome options that even my 4 and 2-year-olds can listen to as I read. My oldest can now read on his own, so we have been searching for great series that he enjoys reading to himself well!

This list is not especially exclusive for young boys, but if you have an action-loving boy like mine, then this list is great for you!

Whether you read these books aloud to your children, listen to them on audio, or if your child reads on their own, these book choices you can feel good about!

In no particular order, here is my list of wholesome book series options for young boys (and girls, too!)

• Heartwood Hotel Series – Fun adventures of a Mouse in Fernwood Forest.
• The Magic Treehouse Series – Brother and sister adventures in faraway places.
• The Boxcar Children – An oldie but goodie, timeless story of 4 orphaned children *look for the original series*.
• Living Wild With The Orions – Wilderness adventure that teaches outdoor skills.
• The Dead Sea Squirrels – Clean humor and excitement while teaching biblical principles.
• Ranger In Time – Adventures of a dog traveling through time.
• The Secret Of The Hidden Scrolls – Adventure series of a brother and sister that takes them back to moments in biblical history.
• Lightkeepers Boys: 10 Boys – Great read-aloud option, re-telling the young life stories of prominent Christian men.
• The Little House Series – Timeless stories from the American Frontier.
• The Wild Robot – A story of a robot’s survival in the wilderness.

The below are not series but amazing stand-alone options for your young boy to read:

• The Dangerous Book For Boys
• The Swiss Family Robinson
• Little Pilgrim’s Progress
• Aesop’s Fables
• The Iron Giant
• The Mouse and The Motorcycle
• The Biggest Story Bible Storybook
• Everyday Graces: A Child’s Book of Good Manners

I hope these books find you on unexpected adventures and bring about sweet discussions with your children.
