The best way to encourage your kids to explore books is to keep great books around, read to and with them and set an example by reading yourself. But a visual reminder of the importance of reading couldn't hurt either. We've found ten affordable art prints to keep reading and books in the forefront of your family's mind.

Thanks for this round-up. Great posters
I've made art for the kids room out of dustjackets from hardcover picture books. It's a lot of fun and a great way to use those (they end up looking horrible if I leave them on :()

We LOVE this print from the black apple!

Love these. When I was teaching first grade, I had a poster that said, "10 Ways to Become a Better Reader" and then listed "Read" all ten times.
In my home I prefer something a little more stylish but still the same message. I just got this from johnwgolden on Etsy and absolutely love it in our family room.

Great Post. I Love these! I have two of the those listed. I would add Read with Me by SarahJane - etsy seller. Also both my girls have vintage children's book week posters in their rooms. One is by Richard Scarry. It has several of his characters from his books sitting and reading and it says "Curious? Read." The other is a Laurent de Brunhoff poster of Babar reading to his children. I found them online.
My favorite is Sasha Barr's Imagination print (shown at the top in this post):
