There were some great books for children out in 2009. There of course are heaps of cute books that tach different lessons but I mean really who has the time to go through them all? I have composed a list of great childrens books that you may have missed.
The Book that Eats People, by John Perry. It was released on August 11, 2009 and is illstrated by Mark Fearing. This book is cute, there is no other word for it. On it's pages it gives you hints for handleing. Do not read with a cookie in your pocket, or with sticky hands, etc. It does mention death, death by ravenous book.It has outstanding art, and is humorous. It can be purchased on Amazon.com for $10.87 for the hardback edition.
The Mysterious Benedict Society Trilogy by Trenton Lee Stewart. These books are recommened for grades 5-9, but if your first grader is tearing up chapter books like there's no tomarrow this is the set for your little one! This series of books involves finding clues, solving mysteries and of course saving the world from a madman. To me these books inspire children to read and of course learn that everything is not what it seems. All three books can be purchased on Amazon.com for the price of $23.91 paperback edition. Hardcover is avaibale and also Audio CD.
Horrible Harry and the Dead Letters by Suzy Kline. The "Horrible Harry" book series has been published since 1997 and there are lots of these little books. Harry has terriable days dealing with slime, to room 2 B. I recently purchased a 3 pack of these books for my 8 year old and he adores them! The art work in them are in his level, it reminds me of some of the drawings he brings home from school. There are enough in this series to keep them reading and wondering what will Harry's next adventure be.
Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey. This is a collection of books. There are quite a few in this series, I think all togther there is 12 or 13 of these if you include the diaper baby and the fun books 1 & 2. These books have monster toliets in them, crazy lunch ladies, a Professor Poopeypants as well as a whole slew of bad guys that Captain Underpants defeats. My sister-in-law gave my son his first 1-4 collection with the singing box and he loved them. He still loves them and he has read them over and over. The art on the inside of the books is comic book style, almost like a graphic novel for young readers. I highly recommend these books for anyone who has a young reader that craves longer books but with simple easy to read words.
The last one was for boys, so here's a collection for young girl readers. Fancy Nancy by Jane O'Conner are great for young girl readers from pre-k to 3rd grade. Nancy and her best freind Bree are fancy girls. They dress to the hilt, boas and heels, and crowns make up their wardrobe. They are girly girls that get into trouble. This is a great series if your little girl is timid about reading. They will be eager to see what Nancy's next adventure will be, and you will too. These books are easy readers that will not wear you out, but will leave you laughing at Fancy Nancy's antics.
