I asked my 9yo to read this book, Bully On The Bus by Kathryn Apel. She couldn’t put it down and when she had nearly finished, I asked her what she thought about it she said ‘I felt the feelings Leroy did.’ and THAT is exactly what high quality literature should do. This book is so powerful in its descriptive language, conveying emotions and situational reality. It has a constructive, positive resolution without descending into clichés.
Good quality Children’s Literature has many layers. Voices in The Park by Anthony Browne, is the same outing to the park viewed from four different characters in the story. Four different perspectives and social commentaries in the sub-text. Details in the illustrations and font styles add to this thought-provoking book.
How do we know what makes a children’s book good?
Being Agatha by Anna Pignataro is an example of a beautiful story many young children could relate to.
At Biblio Kids children are matched with high quality books they will want to read.
If your child needs a book which deals with specific issues, such as anxiety, grief or divorce, Biblio Kids can give expert advice
