FunTrivia: Quizzes – Books for Kids

Grades 1-Adult, with parental supervision.

On this website, you will find many online, interactive quizzes based upon children’s literature.

When you get to the site you will see a menu that you can use to find quizzes according to book series, book author, young adult books, and a general literature category that includes quizzes on fairy tales. Don’t let the sparse menu on the landing page fool you – there are tons of quizzes on just about every children’s book imaginable.

Click on a category and a new page opens with a large menu of quizzes indicating the difficulty level of each quiz that ranges from easy to difficult. Choose the topic that interests you – and another page opens where you can select what format you want to take the quiz in – HTML or flash. Make your selection, and a new page opens where the quiz begins.

It’s fun to test your knowledge and memory of various storylines and characters that you have met in books! That said; parents have different criteria for what is suitable in terms of children’s literature. Therefore, as always, parents should preview this site before exploring it with their children.

Note: There are innumerable quizzes on many subjects at this site. We have only reviewed the Children’s Literature section.. Again, parents should preview this site before exploring it with children.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
