If you have a kid, there\u2019s a 70% chance there’s a Minecraft video on right now. Minecraft<\/a> is one of the most popular video games in the world, and one of its biggest icons is Stampy Cat<\/a> (a.k.a. Joseph Garrett), the jovial creator of a Minecraft video empire. Kids LOVE watching people play Minecraft and Stampy is one of the most viewed YouTube accounts of all time. (If you\u2019ve ever heard an excited British man yelling \u201cHELLO!\u201d from your child\u2019s room, no need to worry. They\u2019re just watching a Stampy video.)<\/p>\n

In January 2016, Stampy Cat released his first book \u2014 appropriately titled Stampy’s Lovely Book<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 which was\u00a0cause for celebration for his millions of devoted fans and showed us that, even though Minecraft is all about digital worlds, the game has a growing presence in the publishing world as well. With that (and the game’s continued popularity) in mind, we put together this quick guide to the wide world of Minecraft books.<\/p>\n

Note to Parents<\/span>: If you\u2019re struggling to understand what a Creeper or a Ghast is, you might want to check out some of these titles too.<\/p>\n
