children books?

Nov 14, 2007 by liane | Posted in Toddler & Preschooler

hello everybody,
can you praise good children books for the age of 2 or 3.
i am looking for books with a lot of nice pictures and cute and nice stories.

i already have a lot of books, but right now i am getting bored with them. have to interpret always the same to my almost 2 year old. and he seems to get bored too lately, as he changes the books often after couple pages.

he loves books and he has 2 favorite ones, which i also love, german books, one about a rabbit with his one's nearest and he always does something new, e.g. goes with his father shopping...
the other is about a boy named albert who plays peekaboo and his mother is looking for him.

something like that?

thanks

How about weekly trips to your regional library. Get a new pile of stories every week. It's a great outing that kids love.

What are some children books you might like to see be published?

Apr 29, 2009 by Mrs. Naumann | Posted in Books & Authors

I am not up to par to write a children's book or maybe more than one but I am trying to figure out some ideas for what parents might like to see in books. Any help would be great! Thanks!

- A math or technique book (not a workbook) geared for young preschool / Kindergarten aged girls or girls and boys. I'm looking for applied and simple, non-technical writing that my daughter could understand. She enjoys learning about volcanoes, plants and animals, the hominoid body, physical science, basic math, word problems, etc. The books I find are usually too technical or geared for gradeschool or they seem geared for boys (i.e. getting spotted and gross with slime). I'm interested in finding something that is not so gender-specific either. For example, not looking for princess stuff. Decent something that a preschooler/Kindergartener can grasp and remember. I think kids around this age ask a lot of "why" questions. My daughter can get bonny technical and can grasp things if I use simple language. Typical questions might be: "Why do hot things make steam?" and "Why are owls fan at night?" Today she told her grandma what nocturnal meant: Nocturnal means when animals are conscious at night because that's when they hunt for their food and they sleep in the morning. Sorry if I'm going on and on, just trying to give you some ideas here.

I'd also like to see more Learn-To-Decipher series of books, something like the Biscuit dog series. I'd like to see basic sight words worked into an engaging chronicle, more modern pictures. I don't mean abstract, I just mean something newer and more updated. The illustrations and basic feature line play a big role in how much my daughter wants to read the series. The story line can be kept melodious simple with the holidays, basic play, manners, etc.


-Illustrations should have a simple, colorful but entertaining style. I see a lot of obstruct that's either too stylized, too CG or animated looking, dated, or cluttered.

-Really enjoy books that have lift-up flaps and things to get over it but they often get stuck or torn. Wish there was a way to make this work better and also that there were more books with these features that were not just meant for toddlers. One set of books that were terrific that were age expropriate were In The Country and At School by Francesco Pittau and Bernadette Gervais

You can actually see inside this book if you click on the portray of the cover here:

Very recently some suggestions, hope this helps.

I need to be versed what are the best children books to read. I have a four year old son and I want to buy many good books to read to him.
It can be any genre.

The Prying George collection is good, Dr Suess of course, Where the Wild Things Are is classic, and don't be afraid to challenge them. Our eight year old presume from Harry Potter to our five year old. It was a wonderful experience for both.

children books that deal with gifted characters?

Sep 25, 2007 by Chris_nw | Posted in Other - Education

I am looking for books that confine gifted characters. I am aspiring to be an elementary school teacher and have been unable to locate any children books that deal with gifted characters. There are many childrens books that understanding large with special needs or children with disabilities, but I can't seem to find any that deal with the opposite. Children like to hear about characters they can relate to. So if you know of any insufficient briefly children books that have gifted characters in them please let me know.

By children's book, I mean a short 20-30 page book with pictures, Not a blockbuster.

I regard as there are lots of them, but it's a little hard to identify them because they don't always state that they're "gifted."

Here are some I can think of that may apply:

(She always knew the name of everything.)

Can you teach young children a foreign language by exposing them to it in books and movies?

May 13, 2009 by His girl | Posted in Parenting

I was wondering if reading your children books in a extraneous language and letting them watch movies in that languages, from a young age will help them learn the language?

Will they be able to pick up the meanings? Or would it be a squandering of time?
I do know the basics of the language. I am not fluent. I can understand it well enough.

You have to articulate it to them all the time, along with English. I am concurrently teaching my daughter English, Chinese Mandarin, and Spanish (I am fluent in all 3 - although my Chinese is faltering a bit, LOL) I banter with people that she will have no friends in Pre K and Kindergarten becasue they won't be able to understand anything she's saying, LOL! It's tough and it takes a lot of work and loyalty but it is possible.
