It's a New Year...a new chapter!
¿But what were the good books from 2014?
There are many Best of 2014
Lists out there, but this is one of the most comprehensive:
Scroll through (while you are
relaxed and have time to see all 69 pages of this PDF) to locate your reader’s
age range; books are then sorted by fiction and non-fiction and all the
subjects in-between. This list is created by The Children’s Book Committee at
the Bank Street College of Education in NYC. They are very picky about which
books make their list, but parents are still the best judges for which books
are best for their own kids.
My personal favorite of 2014
is: The Book With No Pictures by B. J. Novak.
Some books are meant to be
studied for their illustrations; some are meant to be read quietly on a rainy
afternoon; and this book is meant to be read to children by
parents! Remember how I said the joy of bedtime stories is sharing that special
time with your kid? Well, this book will have everybody giggling…again and
again and again.
¿But what if you are more interested in “technical” stuff?
