Children's Books: What's Hot Now These articles that had the largest increase in popularity over the last week

Classics for Little Ones Jul 24th 2011, 10:03 One of the best gifts you can give your child is a love of reading. Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers learn to love reading when they equate it with loving attention and a happy time of sharing. The best place to start with young children is with board books since they enjoy being able to handle books themselves. 1. "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" The bright animal illustrations by Eric Carle and the rhyming text by Bill Martin, with repeating phrases, will have your child reciting this story in no time and asking you to read it again and again. This board book also reinforces color and animal recognition. (Henry Holt & Company, 1996. ISBN: 0805047905) 2. "Pat the Bunny" This interactive board book by Edith Kunhardt Davies, with its simple story of the activities of two small children and its charming pastel illustrations by Dorothy Kunhardt, has been popular since it was first published in 1940. (Golden Books, 1976. ISBN: 0307120007) 3. "Goodnight Moon" This classic by Margaret Wise Brown is an excellent bedtime board book. The illustrations by Clement Hurd provide a lot of things to talk about as the story quietly leads both the main character, and your child, towards sleep. (HarperCollins, 1991. ISBN: 0694003611) 4. "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" A little green caterpillar eats its way through the days of the week on its way to becoming a beautiful butterfly in artist Eric Carle's beautifully designed board book. (Putnam Publishing Group, 1994. ISBN: 0399226907) 5. "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" Beatrix Potter's gentle watercolors provide a lovely introduction to the tale of the naughty rabbit in this board book version. (Penguin Books Ltd., 1999. ISBN: 0723244324)
