    What does it mean when my teacher wants me to annotate childrens books?

    Posted by admin on June 23rd, 2010 and filed under childrens books | 1 Comment »

    The paper said they have to be my annotations not any off the web, I don’t know what to do.

    Well, you could start by asking your teacher.

    Annotations are notes on something explaining it further. So in an annotated bibliography, there is a few sentences under each source saying what it is or how it was used. My guess is your teacher wants you to explain each page of the book (or chapter or something, if it’s a longer book), analyzing it–maybe explaining how the illustrations add to the story?

    What Childrens Books Can I Read To My Kids To Teach Them to Be Good Communists?

    Posted by admin on June 17th, 2010 and filed under childrens books | 4 Comments »

    It is hard to raise your children to be good communists in this decadent capitalist bourgeois country. They are indoctrinated with capitalist propaganda such as "free market is good" from Kindergarten. Does anyone know any good communist childrens books I can read to my kids to counteract this propaganda?

    If you find our system so offensive to live under, feel free to move to Cuba, China, North Korea, or Russia, or one of the many other highly successful communist countries you seem to think so highly of. This country has it’s faults, as do all others, but at least here we can believe as we choose.

    What kind of childrens books do you buy your child?

    Posted by admin on June 14th, 2010 and filed under childrens books | 9 Comments »

    I’m thinking of writing a childrens book and I was just wondering what people usually go for when they buy children books. Do you go for something gender specific like fairy stories for girls?

    I tend to buy books that have learning aspects (abcs, numbers, colors, seasons, manners, animals) mixed in with a cute plot, characters and pictures. My son’s favorite book is Ten Little Ladybugs. He loves the 3D ladybugs, the counting, rhyming and brightly colored pictures. I also like books that are part of a series like Clifford, Berenstein Bears, Sweet Pickles, Arthur, Muppet Babies etc…I do not do gender specific books as I want my son to learn a variety of different things, not just boy things like cars, planes and bugs. On his book shelf right now, he has a barbie and cinderella book.
