| From classics to new favorites, 100 Best Books for Children "points parents in the right direction [to] 100 titles no child should miss" (Booklist). With thirty-five years of experience at the heart of children's publishing, Anita Silvey is better equipped than anyone to help parents make the right reading choices, given the enormous range of children's books available today. From board books to titles for older readers, Silvey narrows the field to 100 "best books," organizing them by age and providing essays on plot summary, along with fascinating insights into the story behind the story that only an insider would know. Essential and inspiring, 100 Best Books for Children is a perfect handbook for parents who want to help their child develop a passion for reading that will last a lifetime. |

 Written on December 19, 2004 Summary: Banal, mediocre at best Obviously any book that claims to tbe the hundred best of any genre of books is an automatic target for potshots from committed readers. But this book is a fatter target than most. Any children's librarian at any public library, and any bookseller at an independent bookstore, will give a parent far more help than this, and for free. Some of the choices are so obvious that it's sad to waste space on them -- what parent really needs to be told about Pat the Bunny? As to the overall selection of books, let's just say it's banal and uninteresting and leave it at that. Some of the choices are obvious sops to political correctness -- viz. Johnny Tremain. And any book claiming to list the 100 best children's books that doesn't include a single title by Arthur Ransome does a major disservice to parents trying to buy good books for their children. Save the price of the book and just spend a few minutes with a preschool or elementary school teacher, a librarian, or a good bookseller.  Written on October 24, 2004 Summary: Okay, not very creative or interesting choices This list is pretty standard, I think a trip to the chinaberry catalog or website would provide much better suggestions. Many of the stories included are classic. The author included a good amount of text describing each of the stories suggested. But in the last few years some amazing children's stories have been written that I think are much better, especially for the younger crowd in the board book and picture book category. We have an amazing collection of children's literature, but as I am always looking for more, I took this book out of the library and I was very disappointed. In our collection of thousands of books for my children, we have 15 of the suggested titles. My suggestion, go to chinaberry on the web and go from there.  Written on June 1, 2004 Summary: Absolutely essential for every family As a former bookseller and librarian, I was often asked by confused parents and grandparents for book suggestions for children of a particular age. This wonderful book belongs on every family's bookshelf, not only because it will suggest the next good book to read, but because it gives a tantalizing look at the stories behind each book--and that always makes reading more fun. You're sure to find your own favorites here, as well as books you haven't come across. Even if you've read every one of these books, you'll enjoy the chatty tone of the book descriptions. I couldn't put the book down! Looking for a book to give a new parent? A new grandparent? Think of this gift first--because you're expressing the importance of reading for another family. More importantly, buy it for yourself ... and enjoy! Written on April 17, 2004 Summary: Stunning resource for anyone who loves kids! When I first saw this book, I was expecting a list and not much more. But the depth and research that went in to this book is extraordinary! Anita Silvey even knew most of the authors and illustrators for these books personally - you can't get much closer to the sources than that! A delight to read, and full of insightful, delightful historical information and personalized anecdotes, this book would be a perfect addition to anyone's bookshelf, no matter what age! Written on April 9, 2004 Summary: Every home should have a copy of this book I sat down and read this book from cover to cover. It was fascinating. Not only was it fun to see if I agreed with Ms. Silvey's choices for best books, but there is so much behind-the-scenes information here, I felt enticed to read or re-read each of the books on her list. Every parent, grandparent, teacher, and librarian will find this book not only useful but inspirational. |
