Parents love children's books and picture books. Diane believes the successful 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 potty help pave the way to your child's ultimate success. Picture books are amazing for preschool readers who are just starting their journey. Here are a few suggestions to help you select children's books and picture books that are learning-oriented 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 exciting. 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 give you a list of books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King medals. 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?
