Parents love children's books and picture books. Most people believe the good ones carry a powerful message that will stay with your child for his or her entire childhood, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is demonstrated that reading children's books aloud may help pave the way to your child's ultimate success. Picture books are enjoyable for new readers who are just starting out. Here are a few suggestions to help you select children's books and picture books that are inspirational as well as enjoyable.
1. Think about the classes 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 valuable. 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 compelling 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 selection 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?
