Bookworm Buzz: Something Old-Something New!
What could be better to read to a 4 year old named Max, than "Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. The little boy in the book is named Max too...so my son just loves it. The Wild Things in the book are not scary, but cute. There are so many memorable lines like "let the wild rumpus start!" I just love this book and others by Sendak, including "In the Night Kitchen."
My other recent find is "The Little Red Fish" by Taeeun Yoo. It's the story of a little boy going to work with his grandfather and taking his fish. The illustrations really caught my eye and my son's imagination. It is a wonderful book.
Then, on Saturday's AM show we had the local author Libbi Chilia come in and talk about her book "Imagine....Amazing Me!" It is dedicated to her 4 year old daughter Sami. It is a book about children with "limb differences." The photos of children doing all the activities that typical children do...really sends a wonderful message. This is a book that can help you explain differences to your children whether they have challenges or not. It can go along way to promote understand.

Oh, I love these books. My daughters are young women now, but when they were tots, we read all the time. Reading aloud is one way to encourage language development and imagination, plus it's a bonding experience.
Reading aloud to my girls when they were babies and preschoolers - and even into the school years - has paid off. Today they're both literary lovers and one is studying to be an elementary school teacher, while the other is a RN.
My favorite authors of books for young children are James Marshall and Bill Peet. James has re-written the classic stories of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, and others that we've all heard a hundred times. His renditions, however, have been given an interesting twist of Mr. Marshall's wry sense of humor. Bill has created the characters in some of his storybooks such as The Wump World and The Queeks of Kukatumdee. These along with Thidwick, The Big-Hearted Moose, The Gnats of Knotty Pine and Big Bad Bruce, to name just a few, are uniquely charming and send an important message from Mr. Peet, as well. Happy reading!
