From our reading diaries
Most read books by age
See what families read with children at each age. We calculate age at the time of each reading from the child’s birth month and year, so it is approximate within a month. Only public diaries count; adults are excluded, and editions of the same book are combined.
These are reading counts, not age suitability ratings. A shared reading counts once for each age represented by the children who took part.
