Books Childrens

I was recently asked if I knew of any good children's books to help someone who is a single mom explain to her five year old son that his family is normal... That was a good question! There are so many different kinds of families and many adults don't know how to explain this to their children. Many children live in what the world thinks of as a "normal" family with a mom and a dad but more and more this is not the case, that doesn't mean that other families are not normal just that they are different but still normal.
Surprisingly there are few books written about families that are not the mom, dad and child scenario family. Most of the family books that are available have that scenario and don't seem to have room for any other family organizations, that leaves some adults and children wondering where to turn for the same literary comfort that is abundantly out there for the mom, dad and child scenario family. I was really astonished at the lack of books for young children on this subject, we have had several generations now of single parents dealing with all the issues that have to be dealt with. Oh there are lots of books for adults but the children are somehow left out of the mix.

From cherished childhood memories to high school there are children's books with animal characters in them. Pre-school and early grades have Peter Rabbit and Beatrice Potter's other fine animal characters along with Winnie the Pooh and his friends. Busy Busy Town gives us many different animals and a worm or two that are living and working like us regular people do, the Little Bear books let our young ones experience wonderful stories full of innocents portrayed by animals and the Little Critter books are wonderful stories encompassing life's ups and downs for young people with the characters as what I believe to be some sort of guinea pig, I absolutely love them! For the just a bit older children we have Charlotte's Web, it is full of imagination and friendship.
I guess we all think of ourselves as growing out of animal character books when we leave elementary school but I have some suggestions that are for older children or even adults which might surprise you.

If you haven't heard about Harry Potter, where have you been hiding? Harry Potter is a character created by the brilliant writer J.K.Rowling, and first came known to us in 1997. 7 books later and with nearly 500 million copies sold, there must be something pretty special about them. Each book became a major film production which all broke box office records and the books were translated into 67 different languages.
So for those who have been in a coma for the past 14 years or have lived under a stone, the series is about a young wizard named Harry Potter. Sadly the story begins in his home where he is an orphan and lives with his Aunt and Uncle in a cupboard under their stairs. He is treated pretty badly and life isn't great for the young Harry. It isn't long before his life takes serious change when he finds out his is a wizard and attends the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn how to use magic.

Children books are where it's at. Read to your babies and teach them reading at a very early age. Reading books will take your child on adventures and expand their imagination. Flying through outer space, exploring other planets, sailing the high seas, and even exploring the ocean bottoms will keep your children curious and wanting to learn more. This will keep them seeking knowledge for a lifetime. Buy your children new books often.
Our children will be the the future leaders of our planet. They will become the politicians, teachers, scientists, and inventors. Prepare your children for a great future by teaching them the value of books, the imagination, and curiosity. Take them to the library at an early age and get them their very first library card. Think of the excitement and the wonder in their eyes at all the books in the library. Explain to them that along with the freedom of taking these books home, they are responsible for the care of the books and the knowledge inside of them. Returning these books in the condition they received them will protect the knowledge for others to enjoy in the future.
