Kids love children's books and picture books. Diane Speicher believes the good ones carry a powerful message that will stay with your child for the future, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is common knowledge that reading children's books aloud might help pave the way to your child's educational success. Picture books are imspiring for impressionable readers who are just beginning. Following are a few recommendations to help you pick children's books and picture books that are educational as well as fun.
1. Understand the varieties of books or subjects your child has been drawn to 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 kids read. 3. Think about books you read as a child and consider whether they are compelling for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to recommend 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..
