Everyone loves children's books and picture books. We believe the moving ones carry a long lasting message that will stay with your child for the future, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is proven that reading children's books aloud can help pave the way to your child's reading success. Picture books are amazing for early readers who are just beginning. Here are a few tips to help you choose children's books and picture books that are inspirational as well as fun.
1. Consider the types of books or subjects your child has enjoyed in the past as well as the kinds of characters, situations and topics he or she might relate to or find interesting. 2. Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their children read. 3. Remember books you read as a child and consider whether they are appropriate 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 recommendations. 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..
Here are the Caldecott Medal best children's books in recent years: 2005: Kitten's First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes (Greenwillow Books/HarperCollinsPublishers) 2004: The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein (Roaring Brook 2003: My Friend Rabbit by Eric Rohmann (Roaring Brook Press/Millbrook Press) 2002: The Three Pigs by David Wiesner (Clarion/Houghton Mifflin) 2001: So You Want to Be President?
