Part of growing up anywhere near Boston is learning about the local sports teams, with the Red Sox being the oldest and most beloved. Even if your child has never been inside of Fenway park, they can go in their imaginations. So whether they’re a baseball enthusiast or you’re planning on choosing one of the Boston Red Sox Children’s Books to accompany tickets to a game, there are some fun kid lit options! And if you want just Boston-area focused children’s books, we have that list too.

I am a believer that children’s books are not just for kids, but also kids at heart. They make great gifts for young ones, but even for the seasoned fan who loves great imagery, storytelling, and rhymes.
