Kids love children's books and picture books. Diane Speicher believes the moving ones carry a spiritual message that will stay with your child for 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 amazing 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 enjoyable.
1. Understand the kinds 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 valuable. 2. Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their children read. 3. Remember 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 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?
