Parents love children's books and picture books. Diane believes the popular 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 clear that reading children's books aloud will help pave the way to your child's educational success. Picture books are fun for beginning readers who are just starting out. Here are a few hints to help you pick children's books and picture books that are educational as well as fun.
1. Understand the types 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 children read. 3. Brainstorm books you read as a child and consider whether they are interesting for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to recommend books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King prizes. 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?
