Books for 4-Year-Olds Who Love Adventure and Mystery

Four-year-olds want longer stories, funny characters and books they can talk about afterwards. Picture books with a bit more plot work well. These are stories with a mystery to solve or a journey to go on: the kind that end with a child asking for one more chapter.

Every book on this page is in the RentToRead library. Tell us about your child and we'll pick 4, 6 or 8 books a month matched to their reading level, with free delivery and pickup. Start your child's box.
