30 Favorite Book Characters That Parents Say Their Kids Love

Reading book series is a fun way to get to know a recurring character -- and your child will be encouraged to read more!  We recently shared some of our favorite characters from book series with parents on our Scholastic Parents Facebook page and asked parents to share some of their children's favorites. We loved all of the suggestions that came pouring in and want to pass them on.

Here are 30 characters from books that parents said their kids LOVE to read about. I'm sure there's at least one new one on the list your kids will fall in love with, too!

Happy Reading!
