The children books
are primarily
fantasy based where
the usual life is
not visualised
anywhere, however,
this world involves
things that we
cannot even wonder.
This creative
imagination world is
quite provocative as
every person has a
fantasy world of his
own. Fairy tales are
an important part of
almost every
childhood. The
parents read them to
kids at bedtime
allowing to bond
with them and meet
their favourite
heroes in dreamland
as well. Harry
Potter is one of the
most enjoyed and
popular books
present in the
market across the
globe today.
This is highly
popular among the
children's books.
These series of
books are complete
with
adventure,excitement
and thrills. One
would will get so
engrossed into the
mystery of the book,
and somehow will
feel that you are
with the gang
solving the mystery
and facing the
adventure. This
adventurous and
sporting book is a
compulsory read for
all.
Fairy tales and
other similar kinds
of stories are often
found in books for
children that are
common at homes or
in libraries or in
schools. Children's
books can indeed
stir up the thinking
of children and
teach them great
morals and lessons.
In the past, boy’s
and girl’s choice
for the type of
stories found in
books for children
varied. Boys are
keen in stories
about adventure like
those of pirates,
explorers, and
pirates. Girls, on
the other hand, are
most likely to read
regarding fairies,
ponies and training
as nurses.
Most of the stories
in the past also
depict a pleasant
world were kids
could wander around
safely. In the
contemporary
children's books,
however, girl
characters like
Hermione can get
stuck in risky
circumstances as
much as their boy
counterparts. Books
for children can be
too lucrative. They
can be found in our
homes, day cares,
and children
libraries across the
globe. The
characters have even
been brought to life
in cinemas. Disney
created movies of
the classics like,
Peter Pan,
Aladdin,and
Cinderella.
JK Rowling is known
as today’s
foremost writer of
children's books.
She follows in the
light other
writer’s in
children’s fiction
like Roald Dahl and
JRR Tolkien. The
characters, Harry
Potter and his
friends are today
world-renowned and
her stores have also
been depicted on the
silver screen as
well. It's quite
distinct and
educative and her
work is so appealing
the children who had
no enchantment to
reading are now
awaiting the next
potter book.
Although her books
have been criticised
for placing children
to varied harmful
realm of magic, they
have also inculcate
values to the
children.
Five of Charles
Dickens' work were
given a thumbs up,
Great Expectations,
David Copperfield, A
Christmas Carol, A
Tale Of Two Cities
and Bleak House.
Amongst other works,
he is well
remembered also for
four of his other
contributions to
literature - The
Pickwick Papers, The
Life and Adventures
of Nicolas Nickleby,
The Old Curiosity
Shop and Oliver
Twist.Other than
Master Twist the
likes of such
characters as
Ebenezer Scrooge,
Fagin, Mrs. Gamp,
Charles Darnay,
Micawber, Abel
Magwitch, Pecksniff,
Miss Havisham and
Wackford Squeers
will definitely stay
on permanently
through his books.
Lewis Carroll's
Alice's Adventures
In Wonderland,
influenced by a
young maiden called
Alice Liddell, is
among the books
recommended. Other
works from Carroll
comprise-Through The
Looking-Glass and
Jabberwocky. With
the exception of
Scotsman Robert
Louis Stevenson,
several other
novelists mentioned
were English.
Parents need to
motivate their
children from a very
initial age, as it
also boosts up
confidence in
themselves. Also
Observe how proud
they feel when they
learn how to read.
Even in the field of
phonetics, which
becomes significant
as they are growing
up to identify
alphabets and their
sounds, it is that
regular reading
routine that
introduces them to
the world of sound.
Children are able to
pick words even
better and learn to
read even quickly,
when their phonetics
are good and minds
are receptive.
