Parents love children's books and picture books. Diane Speicher believes the good ones carry a guiding message that will stay with your child for life, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is clear that reading children's books aloud might help pave the way to your child's educational success. Picture books are ';ast for preschool readers who are just getting started. Here are a few hints to help you determine the children's books and picture books that are inspirational as well as fun.
1. Understand the kinds of books or subjects your child has liked 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 children read. 3. Recall 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 commendations. 6. Vary your suggestions and try different genres to hold your child's interest. 7. Make sure that the stories and illustrations present different issues in positive ways..
