New Books for Young Readers

By Jennifer

It’s so great finding new books with interesting stories I can read to my girls, even better when they are classics!  Here are some great books to check out – either for your little ones or as a gift for the young readers in your life!

Aesop’s Fables Series

I’m sure you’ll recognize some of these stories!  The Aesop’s Fables series ($6.95 each) specially designed by Anna Award is certain to please young readers and their parents with stimulating illustrations and an enjoyable opportunity to improve reading comprehension. Award’s retellings are designed to build reading confidence and comprehension in early readers, and the books in this series feature large, clear, simple text that is reinforced by illustrations.

Anna Award’s specially designed interpretations provide timeless lessons that introduce children to Aesop’s Fables in a way that is accessible to them.  New readers will gain confidence and comprehension, allowing them to become avid readers.

My favorite to read to my girls is The Tortoise and the Hare.  These books are really perfect for young readers since they are translated into an easy-to-read format.

Shapes of Things – Athea

When children are learning new concepts, making learning fun is always a top priority.  Books with vivid illustrations are always a great method for turning learning into play, and they provide parents and grandparents with quality time with their little readers.

In Shapes of Things ($10) written and illustrated by Althea, young readers learn that everything in their world, from their windows to their toys, has a shape. Perfect for young children, Shapes of Things makes learning fun, helping children to more readily learn and apply concepts, while fostering a sense of enjoyment in learning about and discovering the exciting world around them.

Kids can learn the names of these shapes, and how to identify them, whether they be round, square, or oblong.  Little ones also have the chance to make their own pictures using the new shapes they’ve discovered.

The images are pretty standard and it’s a thin book, but ultimately the lessons are greats for my littles ones.  Caroline loves spotting the shapes!

Stewie Boomstein Starts School – Christine Bronstein

With the new school year in full swing, new kindergarteners exhibiting signs of anxiety in this start of the school year can look to the new children’s book Stewie Boomstein Starts School ($8.99) to help ease the transition from a fearful experience to an exciting adventure ahead.

For seamless, successful transitions to occur, children and their families need to know what is going to happen and how it is going to happen. A smooth transition into school sets the stage for a child’s long-term relationship with education.  Christine shares what she learned along a bumpy path so that other parents don’t have to learn the hard way.

The 48-page book is divided into two parts. It has an engaging children’s story about Stewie Boomstein—a loud, sometimes cranky, funny boy—who has a very bad day at school and how he and his family overcome his problem. It is aimed for ages 3-6. The end of the book contains a parent tips section The parent tips section includes simple, concrete tips for parents wanting to smooth their child’s transition into school.  The tips are drawn from interviews with two renowned child and education specialists.

The images are also fun, with lots to go over with the littles one that love to set the scene!

Any of these books would be a great choice for your young reader’s library! Enjoy! For more information, please visit www.parkwestpubs.com, follow Parkwest Publications on Twitter and “Like” Parkwest Publications on Facebook.
