Everyone loves children's books and picture books. Most people believe the great ones carry a rewarding message that will stay with your child for a long time, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is common knowledge that reading children's books aloud can help pave the way to your child's reading success. Picture books are fun for new readers who are just starting out. Here are a few suggestions to help you determine the children's books and picture books that are inspirational as well as enjoyable.
1. Consider the kinds of books or subjects your child has preferred in the past as well as the kinds of characters, situations and topics he or she might relate to or find meaningful. 2. Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their kids read. 3. Brainstorm books you read as a child and consider whether they are right for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to recommend books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King awards. 6. Vary your thoughts and try different genres to hold your child's interest. 7. Make sure that the stories and illustrations present different issues in positive ways..
