Kids love children's books and picture books. Diane Speicher believes the best loved carry a rewarding message that will stay with your child for a long time, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is proven that reading children's books aloud can help pave the way to your child's life success. Picture books are fun for young readers who are just starting out. Here are a few suggestions to help you select children's books and picture books that are educational as well as enjoyable.
1. Understand 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 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 recommendations. 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..
