Good children's literature is all you need to teach children to read and love reading.<br /><br />Lois Lenski (Judy's Journey, Strawberry Girl, Boom Town Boy etc.)<br />Marguerite DeAngeli (Thee Hannah, Petite Suzanne,Yonnie Wondernose etc.)<br />Meindert DeJong (The Wheel on the School, Along Came a Dog, The House of Sixty Fathers, Dirk's Dog Bello etc.)<br />Ralph Moody (Little Britches series, Riders of the Pony Express, etc.)<br />Arleta Richardson (Stories From Grandma's Attic books)<br />Robert McClosky (Burt Dow, Make Way for Ducklings etc.)<br /><br />These are all great authors of wonderful historical and geographical stories that will make book lovers of all who read or hear them and help develop good character and caring children.<br /><br />Marikka Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-70424080620502693832011-09-20T12:14:45.894-04:002011-09-20T12:14:45.894-04:00Blaze!

Most of the others you list this time are new to me. <br /><br />I`d have to list the Sandra Boynton books as some of my favourites, although they are not old. I loved reading them aloud.Evelyn in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273654056979750579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-12222773173841632072011-09-20T09:45:25.074-04:002011-09-20T09:45:25.074-04:00I saved the Billy & Blaze books for our beginn...I saved the Billy & Blaze books for our beginning readers ~ They loved them! (especially my horse girls) Sometimes it's hard to know which books to save for them to meet on their own ~ Both ways are fun. My big kids (oldest is now 18) still love to listen to me read aloud :)melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021320182522447827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-44978043503094044662011-09-19T19:13:29.583-04:002011-09-19T19:13:29.583-04:00Great!

I think I'll request them for Thursday's bookmobile visit.<br /><br />I thought of another favorite around here - James Marshall's "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".<br /><br />Of course, all the normal old tales like that are favorites here - The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, etc.Naptime Seamstresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971159046347608338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-5381115529835898562011-09-19T18:08:26.028-04:002011-09-19T18:08:26.028-04:00It's fun looking at those books again, some of...It's fun looking at those books again, some of which I haven't read since I was a child.<br />I've kept so many of my old books and will pass them along to my children and one day they can read them to their children.<br />Lots of memories in those books!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16141679376036235962noreply@blogger.com
