Children's Books - Enlighten and Entertain Your Kids

Every child loves to spend some time reading the exciting books that tell them about the various things related to life and fantasy. The books for kids are specially written to entertain and educate them. If certain lessons have to be taught to children then they need to be presented in an exciting and interactive manner. Children love to read stories that have interesting characters and wonderful plots. A child would not respond very excitingly about the serious and complex subjects in the books. In order to imbibe in children a better understanding of various things and teaching them different lessons it is important to offer them text with great illustrations and fun filled stories.

To serve this purpose children's books are written for kids keeping in consideration their interest and liking. These books cover various topics and subjects. The exciting stories and fables of fantasy characters really attract the kids. The little ones find it lovely to read books with vivid pictures and graphics. They learn the basic things like alphabets, numerals etc with the help of pictures and patterns. The books for kids can be classified into various categories like Early age books, traditional story books, fiction story books, informational and books based on specific subjects like science, environment etc.

The books for young children are primarily intended to teach them simple nursery rhymes etc. The story books that reveal the interesting and fantasy tales like fairy tales, adventure stories etc are very popular amongst the kids. They love to read the stories of Ugly Duckling, Snow White and Red Riding hood etc.

Mine! Mine! Mine! A Children's Picture Book Pick from The Writing for Children Center

I LOVE picture books, so I'm always happy when I find a new picture book that is as delightful as this new release from children's author Shelly Becker. From the very first page I could identify with little Gail when her "greedy" Cousin Claire came to visit and Mother told Gail she should be nice and find something that Claire would enjoy.

When Gail sees that Cousin Claire has snatched her teddy bear, she just can't take it.

Well, then I snapped (I hadn't napped),

Mine! Mine! Mine! A Children's Picture Book Pick from The Writing for Children Center

A fury filled my head.

I scowled so bad with eyes red mad,

and this is what I said:

"MINE, MINE, MINE! You give it back!

And stop that squeaky whine.

Let's get this straight now, Cousin Claire.

See all this stuff? It's MINE!"

Gail goes on to describe her precious belongings, one by one, for Cousin Claire, letting her know in no uncertain terms that she should keep her hands off of EVERYTHING!

When Clair sobs and moans, Mom comes in once again to offer another tip for Gail. But the surprising way Gail takes Mom's advice is a hoot!

I won't give away the story here and spoil the fun for readers. I'll just say that kids aren't the only ones who will be charmed by little Gail's "dark side" and her efforts to change and learn to share.

I was amazed at how well illustrator Hideko Takahashi was able to convey Gail's and Claire's feelings through their facial expressions in such simple illustrations. But they were perfect!

This book is MUST HAVE for any preschool's (or preschooler's) library!

Children's Literature: Books, Fairy Tales, and Fables to Read to Your Children

Children love to be read to! When they are young the more they are involved with literature the better. Before they can read they can listen, watch, and interact with literature through the grownups in their lives. There have been many studies to show that children become better readers when they have been read to before they ever enter school. Being read to at a young age will also help children grow a love of literature that could last throughout their lives. Children will learn that books and reading are important because the grownups in their lives have shared them, and because books and stories have always been a part of their lives. Below is a list of books and stories that I think will be a good place to start sharing with the young people in your life:

These are fun stories that children (and grownups) will enjoy sharing with each other. They won't get boring even if you read the some story over and over. When my son was three years old he could recite the story of Peter Rabbit by Beatrice Potter word for word without missing even the smallest word in the story. I had read it to him so many times till he knew it by heart and even though he knew it by heart he still wanted me to read it to him! I did read lots of other stories and books to him but Peter Rabbit was his favorite. I hope you can share lots of books and stories with your young ones and find their favorites... maybe they will one day recite their favorite book or story to you. There are also some really good children's magazines, which I will explore in another article, that have some good stories and fun activities for young children. Have fun reading to your little ones.
