Classic Books Make Great Gifts For Ages 9-12
A classic book can capture the imagination while very subtly improving our child's knowledge of the world, of grammar and spelling, of vocabulary and a list of other benefits. More than that, a good book is both entertaining and thought provoking. While there are many great books written today, here you will find the classic books for ages 9-12. When I originally wrote this page, our girls were ages 9 and nearly 12, so I was pleased to see this is also a range used by publishers. For us...

The Velveteen Rabbit: Love Makes You Real
The Velveteen Rabbit is the story of a toy bunny that's rewarded for his faithfulness, for loving and being loved, but only after his fur has been worn off and he's become contaminated with scarlet fever germs. Once he was real to his child companion -- that in itself was an accomplishment -- but now, by fairy decree, he shall be real to everyone! Many of us grew up with the story of The Velveteen Rabbit. Do we ever really outgrow it? I think it's a parable for the idealist in each of us. In...

This bright and colorful book uses rhythm and simple words in a way that will have your child excited by the book, participating in its reading, and perhaps even reciting its chant when the book is out of sight.

A Fishing Story For My Grandson
Children's books can entertain and teach children. Entertaining and teaching my grandson is something I love to do. Once in a while, I get creative and make him a book. Well, writing and illustrating a book for him has happened only twice, but I would like to share this last one with you. It features my grandson, his Paw Paw, and Paw Paw's dog, Duchess. I love reading this story to him and his friends! In the story, the three of them go on a fishing trip; my grandson narrates...

The Very Hungry Caterpillar - For Very Hungry Little Readers
This book has the ability to engage young children in reading, to get them excited, with beautiful albeit simple artwork. While teaching of sequencing, nutrition, and moderation, not to mention where butterflies come from, The Very Hungry Caterpillar easily becomes a child's favorite. Eric Carle's art is amazing and consistent in all his books; a style is so recognizable a two year old can pick out another of his books. This book is a classic.

Which are the Best Books for 1 Year Olds?
When choosing the best books for one year olds look for books which will stimulate the senses. Are they visual and colorful? Can you touch and feel different textures?

Can you play peek-a-boo? Can parents make different voices and sounds when reading the books? Are they fun? Will they make baby giggle...
