I LOVE children's books!
I love reading the stories to the kids and looking at the beautiful illustrations.
I always knew I wanted to display them with their covers showing; instead of the traditional way with the spines showing on a bookcase.
After looking at a hundred different pins, I decided to go for the Ikea picture shelf which you can buy for about $10.
I didn't do anything fancy to determine the spacing between the shelves. I simply put the tallest book we own on the shelf (the same book for all the shelves,) and went up a couple inches and voila!
At the top, we have all our Fancy Nancy books because the kids don't reach for those very often. The next three shelves have hard covers, and the bottom shelf is full paperbacks (we pick those up from Hannah's school book fairs.)
I love the display, and appreciate that my kids don't pull them down just cause (I wish they felt the same way about their toy boxes!)
I hope that gave you an idea of how you can display your books.
As Hannah gets older and she starts reading more chapter books, I will have to figure out a way to display those.
