Children Books- the Importance of Children Books
Sunday, August 15, 2004
The habit of reading books nurtures the capabilities and skills of the readers. Reading books permit the reader to explore the wide horizon of facts. However, books for children should be very carefully chosen. Fairy tales and adventurous books enthrall them a lot. Parents should always try to cultivate the reading habits in their children. They should try to understand the like and dislikes of their children and develop their reading habits. We are always guided by the notion that boys like adventurous books whereas; the girls like romantic or fairy tale books. Though to some extent this notion holds true, but story books enable all the children to wander in their fantasy world, be it adventure or fairy tale. There are various genres of books available these days to provide the readers the ultimate amusement. Reading books help to stir up the thoughts and imagination of the children. This in turn enables them to imbibe good moral values in them.
Children books are found almost in every nook and corner. The main question that concerns us is, what actually constitutes or defines a children book? How should we interpret that a specific book is for children for adults? To answer this debate there are many definitions. The most popular concept defines that children books provide fantastic reality and also imaginative story. As children like to wander in their fantasy islands, imaginative stories are assumed to cultivate their reading attitude. Another popular concept defines that a story books that has a child character should be regarded as their book. This is because the children can easily relate themselves with the character.
To understand the imagination of the children, one need to do careful research. Books like Harry Potter develop the ability among the readers to visualize the images and ideas in their mind. This book has been written so brilliantly that it portrays the semblance of reality. As such Harry Potter has become so popular among the kids that they impatiently wait for the next issue. Further, children books that are versed in very simple language help them to utilize their leisure time with fun. There are various genres of books available such as historic, adventurous, fairy tales etc. Books that are narrated in such a manner that helps to develop the curiosity and knowledge of the readers are very beneficial. Whatever the genre of the book is, the mellow flavor in those stories should sustain to enthrall the children readers.
Today in our fast pace of life, everybody seem to be very busy. People fail to pay attention to the likes and dislikes of their children. This technological boon has come to swirl away all those concerns. It is playing the genie role in our daily activities by fulfilling all our desires. A person who can access the internet can easily serve all his or her official and entertainment needs. It has greatly turned everybody very techno savvy.

Help answer the question about children books
children books that deal with gifted characters?I am looking for books that contain 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 deal 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 short 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 novel.

I agree with the other two comments but also may I add that reading is vital for children of all ages.
If they can compare the books and identify words in different settings then they are well on their way to becoming very accustomed to reading.
This is a life long skill which needs all the encouragement and enthusiam instilled at an early age.

Illustrations as pictures enhance a child's cognitive learning and understanding of the scenario in the narrative. It promotes imagination and creativity into an enjoyable bedtime read.

A good, realistic book about family is Louise Fitzhugh's "Nobody's Family is Going to Change," which was the inspiration for the musical "The Tap-Dance Kid." Fitzhugh was also the author of "Harriet the Spy".

If you are a university student (or if you are a full teacher, most universities will allow their alumni on the journal search portals), use your university library journal base (WilsonSelect, etc.) to identify journal articles on parent roles in reading skill acquisition (e.g. reading daily to child, pointing out and using environmental print together consistently, etc.). Most of the information out there is in peer-reviewed journals. Also, try the links below for general information. Good luck!

The Writers Handbook would list those magazines that will accept and what the requirements are for submission.
I would also check out (if you haven't already) the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
They can offer a world of help.

This seems like it should be easy to find, but I've done numerous WorldCat searches with no luck.
I'd like to suggest that you post your description on one or more of these websites that specialize in identifying forgotten book titles:

I cannot agree more with you….my Father forced us to read when I was small, we were also a family of readers. I love reading and later because I read so much, I could read extremely fast. It helped me so much in my life. Because I could read so fast I could study much faster than other students at Varsity…I have also introduced my little daughter to the "art" of reading. It is quite sad because it seems to me children do not read as much today, too much TV, PS 2 and 3, computers. Also the Public Libraries are getting such small subsidies, the quality of the books are so old and tatty. I have collected about 3 000 books, a mini library of my own. I love second hand bookshops, jumble sales with books etc. I cannot wait to introduce my 9 year old to all my treasures when she gets older.
