儿子喜欢的书
儿子两岁九个月前喜欢下面这些作者，推荐给小小男孩：
Eric Carle
Byron Barton：Trucks,Boats,Airplanes,Trains,etc.
Harriet Ziefert: 最喜欢的是Buzzy 系列.〈toes have wiggles, kids have giggles〉念起来有点像顺口溜，我读让他填空，帮着分清一些读音相近的词。
Ellen Stoll Walsh：〈Mouse Paint〉〈You silly goose〉，etc.
Mo Williem：pigeon系列。〈Time to say please〉〈Time to Pee〉.
Dr. Suess
感觉preschool前，他的主要兴趣在两方面。图画，喜欢构图简单，颜色鲜艳的。情节，简单，他能理解，有共鸣。有时这种理解和共鸣需要大人帮助提示。
上preschool以后，心野了，想玩的花样多，不那么爱读书了。见识也广了，词汇量长了，不再喜欢小小孩书。兴趣转移到图画少，文字多，情节复杂的故事书。目前最爱：
A.A. Milne: the Pooh Story Book。临睡连载，每天三页，从头到尾过了六七遍，还兴致勃勃。
Make way for Ducklings
Curious George系列
Dr. Suess
在我家，读英文书基本上是两遍，英文读一遍，中文讲一遍（他叫讲故事）。
顺便抱怨一下：
儿子很小的时候，没什么主意，父母陪着给念书就是快乐。我可以按自己的品位和喜好为他选书。喜欢的，他会要求再读一遍。
现在已经颇有主意了，要由他来决定每次读哪本。打商量的办法是，他选一本，我选一本。不喜欢的，不肯好好听，一个劲儿念叨：“念完了，这个念完了。”
这才三岁，以后怎么办呢？
另外，Curious George是不是太皮了？没有一点安全意识？孩子会不会以为跳水里也没事，乱打电话也没事，自己溜出家门也没事，随便上陌生人的车也没事……
大家怎么看这事？

儿子九岁，他现在喜欢的书是:
Goosebumps,
Pokemon。
他现在同时正在读的书是The World of Odds from Bathroom Reader Institute, 周末去costco给他买的，他看得津津有味，每晚都会讲几个笑话。很难讲这种书对他有什麽用，但至少让他笑个不停。儿子特别喜欢这一类的书，我还给他买过101 Ways to Bug Your Teacher, Riley's Believe It or Not, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
女儿六岁，她现在喜欢的书是
Junie B. Jones,
Magic Tree House, and
Books about Turtles (her favorite animal) and snakes。
我还给他们订了Highlights for Kids，他们很喜欢，特别是在画里找东西，更是我们全家的活动。
我个人的关点，要读好书，好书要读得透，好多可读可不读的书最好别读，为啥？耽误时间。我自己就深有体会，我从小爱看书，有字的都爱看，所以我们家一订报纸，我上班就迟到。平时二三分钟灌下去的牛奶，伴着新闻广告一耗就是半小时，等明白过来已经晚了。
关于是买书还是借书，我个人觉得99%的书不值得保留，能借尽量借，能买旧的就买旧的。每年我们这的图书馆都有旧书卖，25c, 50c 就能买到那些小小孩的书，象Just Me and My Mommy 系列，说起来这是我最喜欢的儿童系列，喜欢里面那个小刺猬的照型，还有他那良好动机下的添乱。只有那些你觉得会看不只一便得书才值得保存，记得古人有云书非借不能读也，想想还是有道理锝

俺老大4岁，也爱读书。经典的俺就不多说了，别的妈妈都推荐了，也能在网上找到书单。正好看到有人在问增加词汇量，就推荐一本比较另类的吧~~
Disney's My Very First Dictionary by Vincent Jeferds - Definitions in rhyme for easy remembering
这本书说是字典，但每个字都是有儿歌来解释，并配上风趣的图画，可以当儿歌书来读。曾经是我女儿的最爱，每天晚上必读的。一共收入了500字左右，适合刚开始认字的孩子。举个例子：
accident
when something bad
or something grand
happens without
being planned.
here's an accident
you can see --
Goofy flew
into a tree.
边上配了googy飞机撞树的插图。
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岁儿子的杂志和书
杂志：
National Geographic Kids。图文并茂。色彩丰富。俺和老公没事也会翻翻，呵呵。
Lego。free嘀。儿子光看不买:))
Spide。我很喜欢，没有广告。但儿子对它不来电，订了一年就停了。觉得可能更适合女孩子。现在准备订Time for Kids或highlight。
书实在太多了。儿子看过喜欢的系列书有：
Horrible Harry 系列。
Captain Underpants 系列。
Magic Tree House 系列。
Ready,Freddy 系列。
Geronimo Stilton 系列。
最近迷上了侦探故事在看Encyclopedia Brown系列和Nate the Great系列。
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
“Sports Illustrated For Kids ”： 儿子看后能对体育明星如数家珍。
“Time for Kids": 很薄的一份杂志，俺看了几期， 8错。
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
二年级能读，六十岁也能读而且更有感受。 这是一本能触动男孩子父母神经的儿童读物。
它是俺老二baby shower的礼物，当时已经知道又是个男孩，俺那位有四个孩子母亲同事说你一定要有这本书。后来自己买了不下五六本到处送。每次读它俺都能流泪，而且越老泪越多。
