  • how many adults will admit to reading childrens books?

    Posted by admin on March 5th, 2010 and filed under childrens books | 3 Comments »

    I admit i read childrens books, I love Enid Blyton but at the moment i am half way though Charlotte’s web. Have read a few Harry Potter books as well

    I do, definitely. I’m with reader: I have no shame about it.

    Woe betide anyone who tries to take my children’s books away from me! I may be a child at heart, but I’d fight like an adult…cat, that is…a large cat…think tiger! :)

    In fact, it’s nearing the time when I should read The Chronicles of Narnia series again or maybe the Anne of Green Gables series or The Secret Garden or Heidi or, or, or….

    What are some unique childrens books ideas?

    Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under childrens books | 2 Comments »

    I have a project in English class that we have to create our own childrens books. We have to come up with our own plot, theme, title, etc. for the book.

    Does anyone have or know any unique ideas that I could get inspiration from? Maybe some title suggestions as well?

    TITLE: Chompers

    Plot: A young child learns about the importance of eating well to prevent major problems in the future with teeth… Through the book, the child meets a tooth, an apple that is healthy for his teeth, a piece of candy that is bad for his teeth, a dentist who is gentle, a dentist who is mean, a tooth brush, and a tube of toothpaste… The characters include the tooth, tooth brush and toothpaste in "human-like" fashion… They talk, move, walk, and are an intricate part of the message being delivered to children…

    TITLE: Gazuntite!

    Plot: A bunny named Gaz learns the importance of not spreading around germs, especially since the bunny is sick and causing all of his other friends and family to get sick too… Gaz realizes that it’s not only best to cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, but to also try and cough into your sleeve instead of into the air or into your hand, or paw because if you sneeze on your hand you will spread germs around when touching faucets, door handles, pencils, crayons, etc… The bunny learns that the best thing for a cold are hot soup, veggies, and plenty of rest… Gaz’s friends all visit him and lecture him on why he got sick in the first place – because he went outside in the cold without a coat… The story ends with Gaz feeling much better and playing outside and having learned the importance of saying "bless you" after someone sneezes…

    TITLE: Riches to Rags

    Plot: A wealthy lion cub has it all… All the toys a kitty could want, all the food in the grasslands, friends, and money… However, the lion cub keeps losing all of his possessions b/c he gambles them away, making bets on things like "what branch will that butterfly land on next?".. .He loses everything and becomes an angry and scary lion when he hits rock bottom… Hiss friends help him realize the error of his ways and help him to regain his pride, pun intended…

    What are some literary works (including movies and childrens books) that make bible references and allusions?

    I would prefer children’s books because i can remember them easier than books! Movies are good too. Help!

    Yes, Narnia is good. Also, the TIme series by Madeline L’Engle. This article has a description of these books at the bottom. I love them!!!! Feel free to comment on the article! :D

    What are some childrens books that look at the loner or the outsider?

    Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010 and filed under childrens books | 4 Comments »

    Wiritng a term papaer on how children books look at the character of the loner or the outsider, do you know of any that deal with this kind of character?

    You’re taking me back a ways, but I recall that Beverly Cleary did some great work on the outsider child. Particularly her Ramona books.

    I want to publish childrens books. Can I make a living writing childrens books? How do I become big?

    I have so many wonderful ideas about childrens books. I really want to write childrens books that will change the world. I am so excited to get my books published, but how do i? How do i know who will make me big?

    Publishing them and writing them are two different aspects of the literary field.

    If you want top publish them you’ll need to find authors. a printing house, distribution channels, suppliers, an ad agency, etc. A very expensive start-up operation in a field that is cut-throat.

    If you’re looking at becoming a writer you’ll need to find an agent, a good editor, possibly an artist (if your books are to be illustrated) and eventually a publisher.

    I’ve worked as an editor and writer for nearly 20-years and I’ve never seen the children’s book market so competitive.

    Here’s the good news — this is a growing segment of the publishing field. More-and-more authors are getting in front of book houses these days and getting into print. In part because of the Harry Potter craze.

    Find a niche to write about that you’re strong in; an agent that believes in you; and go for it!

    Good luck. –Andy

    What are some good Christmas childrens books?

    Posted by admin on February 7th, 2010 and filed under childrens books | 4 Comments »

    I’d like to teach my 2 year old more about Christmas and get him excited about it through reading books to him (among other things). Does anyone know of good children’s books on Christmas that would hold his attention? We’re Christian so books about Christ’s birth would be awesome too!

    The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey. Pretty much the greatest Christmas book ever, but i’m not sure if it’s good for a 2 year old…
