Everyone reveres children's books and picture books. Diane Speicher believes the good 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 demonstrated that reading children's books aloud may help pave the way to your child's educational success. Picture books are amazing for impressionable readers who are just starting their journey. Here are a few tips to help you choose children's books and picture books that are learning-oriented as well as enjoyable.
1. Think about the varieties 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 youngsters read. 3. Brainstorm books you read as a child and consider whether they are interesting for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to suggest books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King recommendations. 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..
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?
