兒子喜歡的書
兒子兩歲九個月前喜歡下麵這些作者，推薦給小小男孩：
Eric Carle
Byron Barton：Trucks,Boats,Airplanes,Trains,etc.
Harriet Ziefert: 最喜歡的是Buzzy 係列.〈toes have wiggles, kids have giggles〉念起來有點像順口溜，我讀讓他填空，幫著分清一些讀音相近的詞。
Ellen Stoll Walsh：〈Mouse Paint〉〈You silly goose〉，etc.
Mo Williem：pigeon係列。〈Time to say please〉〈Time to Pee〉.
Dr. Suess
感覺preschool前，他的主要興趣在兩方麵。圖畫，喜歡構圖簡單，顏色鮮豔的。情節，簡單，他能理解，有共鳴。有時這種理解和共鳴需要大人幫助提示。
上preschool以後，心野了，想玩的花樣多，不那麽愛讀書了。見識也廣了，詞匯量長了，不再喜歡小小孩書。興趣轉移到圖畫少，文字多，情節複雜的故事書。目前最愛：
A.A. Milne: the Pooh Story Book。臨睡連載，每天三頁，從頭到尾過了六七遍，還興致勃勃。
Make way for Ducklings
Curious George係列
Dr. Suess
在我家，讀英文書基本上是兩遍，英文讀一遍，中文講一遍（他叫講故事）。
順便抱怨一下：
兒子很小的時候，沒什麽主意，父母陪著給念書就是快樂。我可以按自己的品位和喜好為他選書。喜歡的，他會要求再讀一遍。
現在已經頗有主意了，要由他來決定每次讀哪本。打商量的辦法是，他選一本，我選一本。不喜歡的，不肯好好聽，一個勁兒念叨：“念完了，這個念完了。”
這才三歲，以後怎麽辦呢？
另外，Curious George是不是太皮了？沒有一點安全意識？孩子會不會以為跳水裏也沒事，亂打電話也沒事，自己溜出家門也沒事，隨便上陌生人的車也沒事……
大家怎麽看這事？

兒子九歲，他現在喜歡的書是:
Goosebumps,
Pokemon。
他現在同時正在讀的書是The World of Odds from Bathroom Reader Institute, 周末去costco給他買的，他看得津津有味，每晚都會講幾個笑話。很難講這種書對他有什麽用，但至少讓他笑個不停。兒子特別喜歡這一類的書，我還給他買過101 Ways to Bug Your Teacher, Riley's Believe It or Not, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

女兒六歲，她現在喜歡的書是
Junie B. Jones,
Magic Tree House, and
Books about Turtles (her favorite animal) and snakes。
我還給他們訂了Highlights for Kids，他們很喜歡，特別是在畫裏找東西，更是我們全家的活動。
我個人的關點，要讀好書，好書要讀得透，好多可讀可不讀的書最好別讀，為啥？耽誤時間。我自己就深有體會，我從小愛看書，有字的都愛看，所以我們家一訂報紙，我上班就遲到。平時二三分鍾灌下去的牛奶，伴著新聞廣告一耗就是半小時，等明白過來已經晚了。
關於是買書還是借書，我個人覺得99%的書不值得保留，能借盡量借，能買舊的就買舊的。每年我們這的圖書館都有舊書賣，25c, 50c 就能買到那些小小孩的書，象Just Me and My Mommy 係列，說起來這是我最喜歡的兒童係列，喜歡裏麵那個小刺蝟的照型，還有他那良好動機下的添亂。隻有那些你覺得會看不隻一便得書才值得保存，記得古人有雲書非借不能讀也，想想還是有道理锝

俺老大4歲，也愛讀書。經典的俺就不多說了，別的媽媽都推薦了，也能在網上找到書單。正好看到有人在問增加詞匯量，就推薦一本比較另類的吧~~

Disney's My Very First Dictionary by Vincent Jeferds - Definitions in rhyme for easy remembering

這本書說是字典，但每個字都是有兒歌來解釋，並配上風趣的圖畫，可以當兒歌書來讀。曾經是我女兒的最愛，每天晚上必讀的。一共收入了500字左右，適合剛開始認字的孩子。舉個例子：

accident

when something bad
or something grand
happens without
being planned.
here's an accident
you can see --
Goofy flew
into a tree.

邊上配了googy飛機撞樹的插圖。

Koala Lou by Mem Fox
It's about mom's unconditional love, and it brought out my tears the first time I read it. I always ended the reading by telling my boys mom always loves you no matter what. A beautiful and touching story.

8歲兒子的雜誌和書
雜誌：
National Geographic Kids。圖文並茂。色彩豐富。俺和老公沒事也會翻翻，嗬嗬。
Lego。free嘀。兒子光看不買:))
Spide。我很喜歡，沒有廣告。但兒子對它不來電，訂了一年就停了。覺得可能更適合女孩子。現在準備訂Time for Kids或highlight。

書實在太多了。兒子看過喜歡的係列書有：
Horrible Harry 係列。
Captain Underpants 係列。
Magic Tree House 係列。
Ready,Freddy 係列。
Geronimo Stilton 係列。
最近迷上了偵探故事在看Encyclopedia Brown係列和Nate the Great係列。

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
“Sports Illustrated For Kids ”： 兒子看後能對體育明星如數家珍。
“Time for Kids": 很薄的一份雜誌，俺看了幾期， 8錯。

www.nytimes.com or other sites
That is the web site bookmarked by my kid. One can learn anything one wants, politics, education, fashion, sports, whatever you name it. With the knowledge of current events, kids can initiate small talk to any persons. The best part is IT IS FREE. Thanks to the constantly updated contents, my kid learnt a lot and aced SAT without much preparation.

Two author's books for preschoolers
Laura Joffe Numeroff: If You Give a Pig a Pancake, etc.
Eric Carle: The very lonely firefly, etc.

“Love You Forever" - by Robert Munsch
二年級能讀，六十歲也能讀而且更有感受。 這是一本能觸動男孩子父母神經的兒童讀物。

它是俺老二baby shower的禮物，當時已經知道又是個男孩，俺那位有四個孩子母親同事說你一定要有這本書。後來自己買了不下五六本到處送。每次讀它俺都能流淚，而且越老淚越多。
