These are books that kids will want to read-or should read, but will enjoy doing so. Board book, picture books, kid lit, elementary school books, middle school books, high school books, all age comic books and more will be talked about here.
Let’s assume that you don’t know who Mister Rogers is. Now that you’re in this cold, desolate, alien world, let’s look at Fred’s Big Feelings. From the moment you look at this book you’ll realize that something is different about it. It’s as tall as other illustrated books, yet it’s narrower. The cover of Fred’s Big Feelings is also irrepressibly happy. It features Rogers in his trademark red sweater and blue shirt with umpteen hearts coming from his hands and his pockets.
The Midwinter Witch is the third and final graphic novel in this series by Molly Knox Ostertag takes the Vanissen family and their ancillary witches to a family reunion. The Midwinter Festival is when Aster’s family get together, talk about what’s new and bond as a family. They’re just like your family reunion, except they have competitions in witchery and shape shifting. If you read the first two books in the series then the personalities, quirks and powers of everyone involved will come back to you quickly.
The Storm Keeper’s Island by Catherine Doyle was filled with mystery, adventure and the sort of book that fills the imagination of middle school students and older. The Lost Tide Warriors is the second book in the series and does what very few books have done in that it gets better in our memory. While I was reading The Lost Tide Warriors I remember thinking that the first book was so much better. This book had its moments, the second half of it is effortless and very fun to read and middle school ages will still enjoy reading it.
The title to the post, With A Little Help From My Friends-the book, might seem odd; but it’s necessary to put it that way because the song has been turned into a children’s illustrated book. This is a children’s book that’s written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, or rather, it has the song’s lyrics as the written narrative for a story. I’m not going to go all ‘back in my day’ or ‘kids these days’ because half of the genius of The Beatles was the lyrics to the melodies that they created. It’s also undeniable that With A Little Help From My Friends is an amazingly catchy song. The illustrated book is slightly more forgettable and that’s ironically due to the song.
If your elementary school is anything like ours then the I Survived series of books by Lauren Tarshis is a hot commodity. The stories blend non-fiction events as they would’ve been viewed by a kid who lived through them. Educators love the books because they engage kids with non-fiction elements and kids love them because they have characters that they can relate to. Until now, the I Survived series have been books with a couple of illustrations. This graphic novel, by definition, is going to speak to that audience that likes things in a more visual format.
If you’re a preschool girl then it’s a Rainbow Ranger world and your parents simply live in it, or occasionally interrupt it to ask you to turn off the TV. Parents like the show because it has nothing but positive themes and young girls will like it because the characters are smart, solve problems and have flying unicorns. If you’re a literary parent then the world of Rainbow Rangers might be new to you the MacKids is out to change all of that. They’ve printed four books that will appeal to children aged one through six.
The core of mankind’s disagreements can be summed up into those that like seaweed as a snack and those who don’t. I am firmly in the first camp and are offering it to our children every chance that we get and since there’s always some in the kitchen that’s quite often. Mindy Kim and the Yummy Seaweed Business by Lyla Lee is the first in a new children’s series that kids in first through fourth grade will enjoy for a number of reasons.
Franken-Sci High has the kind of book title that makes you want to kick yourself for not thinking of it sooner. If that’s the case then you can kick yourself just a little softer because that’s actually the title of the book series. It was created by Mark Young and the first release in this series, Jim Henson’s Franken-Sci High, What’s The Matter With Newton; as well as, the second one, Monsters Among Us! are out now. Depending on what your child likes to read it might be just the comfort reading food your third through seventh grader is looking for.
