Kids love children's books and picture books. Diane 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 reading success. Picture books are fun for elementary readers who are just beginning. Here are a few hints to help you select children's books and picture books that are educational as well as enjoyable.
1. Think about 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 appropriate 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 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?
