2005–2025 Parents’ Must-Read Magazine & Red Mud’s Top 10 Children’s Books List

Start­ing with the Jan­u­ary 2005 issue, Par­ents’ Must-Read mag­a­zine and the Red Mud Book Club joint­ly launched the “Top 10 Out­stand­ing Chil­dren’s Books” annu­al award event, aim­ing to pro­vide fam­i­lies with chil­dren aged 0–8 with trust­wor­thy chil­dren’s book rec­om­men­da­tions.

We will care­ful­ly select our favorite out­stand­ing works from the large num­ber of chil­dren’s books cur­rent­ly on the mar­ket and rec­om­mend them to read­ers in install­ments. Read­ers are also wel­come to vote for their favorites. At the end of the year, we will invite experts in the field of chil­dren’s books to con­duct an eval­u­a­tion. Final­ly, com­bin­ing the eval­u­a­tion opin­ions of read­ers, the edi­to­r­i­al team, and experts, we will release the annu­al Top 10 list (an annu­al orig­i­nal pic­ture book rec­om­men­da­tion list has been released since 2015).
