Parents love children's books and picture books. Diane Speicher believes the popular ones carry a powerful message that will stay with your child for the future, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is clear that reading children's books aloud will help pave the way to your child's reading success. Picture books are enjoyable for preschool readers who are just starting their journey. Following are a few hints to help you select children's books and picture books that are educational as well as enjoyable.
1. Understand the kinds of books or subjects your child has been drawn to 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. Recall books you read as a child and consider whether they are interesting for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to give you a list of books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King awards. 6. Vary your recommendations and try different genres to hold your child's interest. 7. Make sure that the stories and illustrations present different issues in positive ways..
