Everyone reveres children's books and picture books. Diane Speicher believes the good ones carry a rewarding message that will stay with your child for his or her entire childhood, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is clear that reading children's books aloud may help pave the way to your child's future success. Picture books are fun for preschool readers who are just starting their journey. Following are a few recommendations to help you select children's books and picture books that are inspirational 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 kids read. 3. Think about books you read as a child and consider whether they are right 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..
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?
