Fun-Filled Rainbow World of Children’s Books
What comprises children’s literature has become a subject of hot debate amongst today’s literary and pedagogical scholars. Put broadly, the umbrella term “children’s literature” covers all the books that are written about children and are read by children. Many a time, the definition of children’s literature is determined by the teachers, literary scholars from academic and pedagogical institutions, librarians and the various book awards committees.
Are the Aesop’s Fables For Children and Adults?Am I caring properly about building and reinforcing wisdom structures into my children’s mindset while I’m raising them? Who else am I allowing to take part of my children education and habits/skills formation? Are my family traditions still alive for my children to follow up on them, or they’re lost already? Are the Aesop’s fables a good reading for these days regardless the many years ago they were written? Are they used by serious people working on serious projects in any way that could help me grow up my children wiser in life?

Super-Detective Flip Book – Two Complete Novelst was a sincere honor to take on the book review project for Super-Detective Flip Book: Two Complete Novels in light of the fact that this book has allowed a whole new generation of readers to access a very popular series from the 1940’s. Off Trail Publications have worked with Reverse Karma Press to introduce the iconic fictional hero Jim Anthony and his nemesis Rado Ruric in a book that utilizes a very old style – it is a flip book; and this means that once the reader has completed one story, they then flip the book over to access the second Jim Anthony adventure.
O’Shaughnessey – A Boy and His LeprechaunI absolutely loved reading O’Shaughnessey – A Boy and His Leprechaun by Jeremy McGuire. I am certain that young readers will want to open the book and disappear for a while as soon as they see the wonderful fantasy image on the cover. The author, incidentally, also created the many illustrations that can be found throughout the book – Jeremy’s artistic talent definitely plays on the curiosity and fanciful minds of youthful readers. Mr. McGuire’s bio states that his art and narrative style are greatly influenced by his fondness for 19th Century literature and art.
Thank You Dr Seuss For Fantastic Children’s BooksDr Seuss is the pen name for Theodor Seuss Geisel, an author who initially was headed for an academic career. His doodling during class prompted a fellow student to suggest he become an artist instead of a professor. Already an established author at that time, he changed his focus and worked in advertising for many years until WWII saw him producing movies for the war effort. In the latter years of the war he started to write & illustrate children’s books with such appeal to children that he was commissioned to write a primer using the basic 200 vocabulary words.
