Reddit mentions: The best children art fiction books

Here are some books my kids love:

Picture books:

• Boot and Shoe by Marla Frazee - Sweet story of two dog brothers
  
  
• Look! A Book! by Bob Staake - Fun, funny I Spy type book but with an absurd silliness and fun rhymes
  
  
• And it's not really obscure since it's a NYT Bestseller but I'd be remiss if I didn't plug The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt since he's an old friend of mine. Plus my kids love it.
  
  Chapter books:
  
  Most of the chapter books my kids read are part of a series so they aren’t really obscure but my kids love them so I figured I’d note them in case you hadn’t heard of any of them:
  
  
• The Magic Treehouse series is a good series to start with for chapter books
  
  
• Bunnicula is hilarious
  
  
• Encyclopedia Brown – I loved them and now my son loves them
  
  
• Stink – My son loves that Stink and his friends are a lot like him and his friends. Their adventures are very relatable
  
  
• And my five year old daughter and I love Ivy and Bean and their antics. They’re laugh out loud funny and it’s great to have girl books that are about girls horsing around and getting into trouble. Ivy and Bean are real kids, not just precious little princesses in training.
  

Oh, I <3 looking for books for my kids!! They are 14, 13, 12, 11, and 5. Our son is the youngest, and he loves all the books that his older sisters loved when they were younger. :D

  Thank you for the contest!

How long will you be at the parks?

Here are some tips/thoughts!

• If you're used to Walt Disney World, Disneyland will be a completely familiar and completely different experience. There's a lot more history at the Disneyland park, so reading (or listening to!) something like The Disneyland Story or carrying around a copy of the Imagineering Field Guide to Disneyland (also nab California Adventure) can really enhance your visit.
  
  • There's a lot more history that you can appreciate with a little background knowledge: the original Enchanted Tiki Room, seeing Walt's Apartment, riding the train to see the dioramas, etc.
    
• There are a handful of things that are unique to Disneyland and differ from the Magic Kingdom. You'll likely have enough time to experience them all, but since your wife is used to Magic Kingdom it could help to keep these in mind.
  
• Leading up to the trip it can always be fun to revisit key movies that attractions and experiences are based on.
  
• Plan on grabbing a Park Hopper. The two parks are much closer than the parks at WDW and it's really easy to switch parks on a whim within a short walk.
  
• Since you were there 10 years ago, California Adventure will be a fun experience. It received quite an overhaul 7-12 years ago, so there will be lots of new stuff to experience.
  
• Check out a couple lists of things to eat and plan out what you want to munch your way through.
  
• Characters work a little differently at Disneyland. Whereas Magic Kingdom usually has pretty strict meet-and-greet areas, in Disneyland they tend to roam the park more (although some traditional meet-and-greets exist).
  
• Lastly, I'm not sure how flexible your plans are, but if your wife is obsessed with Disney, the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Fransisco is a fun visit. It's a more academic Disney experience, and a 6.5 hour car ride north, but if you feel like spending a day or two in San Fransisco it's a great destination for Disney fans.

Wow. Just went back and read the original post. That's some story. Glad you got to the bottom of it. (Gotta say, you are one fabulous aunt!)

It's great that your sister is addressing your niece's sense of self by having her be around more kids who look like her. But I'm guessing it'll take more than a long talk to undo what your brother-in-law's family set in motion. (I hate to say it, but ... Arizona.)

It sounds like, along with their racist attitudes and a sense that this is an okay way to think and behave, your niece internalized a kind of ethnocentrism that suggests a goodness-badness continuum, where lighter people are on one end, and darker folks on the other. Restoring her sense of self-worth about her own skin color and beauty might require a full-on challenge of this idea. In other words, being around other Asian kids is important but may not be enough; she might also need counter-examples against black and latino stereotypes.

Fortunately, there are plenty of awesome picture storybooks for her age group featuring black, brown, and asian kids and families that will simply humanize all types of folks, and humanizing is the best way to challenge your bro-in-law's family's dehumanizing ideas. (I mean seriously--brown people act like monkeys and steal money?)

Off the top of my head, here are some books we read to our daughter:

• Sol A Sol: Original and Selected Bilingual Poems by Lori Marie Carlson
  
  
• From the Bellybutton of the Moon and Other Summer Poems by Francisco X. Alarcon and Maya Christina Gonzalez
  
  
• Peek: A Thai Hide & Seek by Minfong Ho and Holly Meade
  
  
• Hush: A Thai Lullaby by Minfong Ho and Holly Meade
  
  
• Cherries & Cherry Pits by Vera Williams
  
  
• The Honest-to-Goodness Truth by Patricia C. McKissack & Giselle Potter
  
  
• and of course, a few classics: The Snowy Day and Whistle for Willie by Ezra Jack Keats and Corduroy by Don Freeman
  
  Lastly, your bro-in-law's soft-pedal response really is no help. Sounds like he has no idea how much he sucks. He's got a brown kid; he needs to stand in her shoes, even if it means standing up his family, and facing down his own messed-up beliefs. Dude needs to man up. He's got an opportunity here; I hope he takes it.
  
  TL;DR: You're an awesome aunt.
  

Here's a few that my almost 4 year old girl loves these days:

Sector 7 - Kind of like a beginners sci-fi picture book

Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present - A simple little tale, beautifully told about a girl and a rabbit (Maurice Sendak illustrated)

Paddle to the Sea - Little boy carves a canoe and sends it off to the sea. This book follows its journey along the Great Lakes to the sea. Also a great NFB short film.

When Louis Armstrong taught me Scat - Cute story for music lovers.

Sylvester and the Magic Pebble - A young donkey finds a stone that grants wishes.

Click clack moo - Cows find a typewriter and start making demands on the farmer. Kind of an introduction to collective bargaining.

Possibly the Look-Alikes books by Joan Steiner?

"Come along! Jump aboard! Grab hold of my hand. / We're crossing the border into Look-Alike Land." So invites the opening lines of Joan Steiner's Look-Alikes, a three-dimensional miniature metropolis that's meticulously, ingeniously crafted out of everyday objects from mousetraps to milk bones. At first glance, a fancy hotel lobby seems just that, but take a closer look and you'll see a sofa made of gloves. In a sunny street scene, a building façade is laden with crackers, crayons form fence posts, and the tree is shaded by a stalk of broccoli. Children and adults alike will love poring over each picture, most of which contain more than 100 objects cleverly arranged to delight and deceive. Kids will easily identify many household objects, and the ones they may not recognize--a hosiery garter or flour sifter, for example--they'll learn from either the guide in the back or from a helpful parent."

"Joan Steiner's "Look-Alikes" is endlessly interesting for kids and adults alike. This self-taught artist employs everyday items--tea bags, Fig Newtons, miniature hair combs, matches, tissues, strips of licorice, graham crackers, torn-up sponges, pencils, and so much more--to create the most astonishingly lifelike scenes.
You can see everything from a port city with boats arriving to a soda shop to a candy store to a classroom, each filled to brimming with trinkets and everyday articles of every kind, each employed as something other than what it really is "

I have the hardest time with visualization so I'm sorry I can't give you specifics for your design but I can tell you about my infertility tattoo and maybe that'll jump start some ideas for you. I just got a wild strawberry tattooed on the inside of my left wrist. It's something I've wanted since I was a teenager but things finally fell together to get it and have meaning. The strawberry itself is a symbol of my (finally) fertility, then the vines have 5 leaves on them to represent the 5 embryos we ended up with during IVF. Also hidden amongst the vines is the Gallifreyan symbol for the first letter of my son's first name. Doctor Who is something my husband and I both love and we referred to our embryo and fetus as Pond until we knew he was a boy and settled on a name, so I wanted a piece of fandom in there too. Do you have a favorite fandom you could incorporate? A show or a character you and your son both love? I know you mentioned elephants. I didn't like any of the actual infertility symbols so I came up with my own. I hope that helps! I absolutely love my tattoo. Also, check out this book!

My daughter was(is) a big fan of Little Blue Truck.

We also like Goodnight Gorilla and Peek a Who

For ones that can grow with her, I'd recommend:
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus

How do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight

Honestly, anything by Mo Willems or Jane Yolen is going to be good! I have some books on my daughter's gift list too.

For more suggestions, a friend of mine is a librarian and has a TON of books pinned on Pinterest. Here's just one of her boards.

For us? My daughter can always use more books. We have a ton, but she loves them. I think I'm most interested in The Day the Crayons Quit for her right now. It looks really good and funny and we like to read a little above her level to her anyway (she's almost 4 so at the bottom of this one.)

Yo what's up everybody!

A little while back, I made this coloring book for one of my college courses. It is a fun little story about time travel, and recoloring certain locals and items throughout history. Kids can have fun learning and coloring the coloring the pictures, while adults can have a good time also reading the story.

It's on Amazon right now for only $9.99! Please look into it and let me know what you think!

Back Cover Text:
>"Oh no! Color is being drained from these historical landmarks and artifacts! I need to get some help if I'm to ever fix this problem! But who?" With your Magic Crayon in hand, travel through time with Wally Wayback on his quest to help restore color to some important items and locations in history. On this fantastic and wonderful journey, learn about the significance and interesting lore of key locations and relics from some places that you might not know too much about.

Thank you for reading!

Green Eggs and Ham! Thanks for the contest. I love that it revolves around children's books!

This book, The Tickle Monster is absolutely adorable! There are even corresponding Tickle Monster Mitts!

I'd love to win The Day the Crayons Quit for my first graders. This year's groups has a great sense of humor and I think they'd get a kick out of imagining their crayons going on strike!

I saw a video of BJ Novak reading that book- It looks really funny, and def. dependent on the narrator- so good on you for taking it on! Though I am by no means religious, I am fascinated by religion- I will take a look at your other title:)
See if your school library has this one- it's very clever and fun to read-

I love children's books that treat them like young people and don't pander to them, as well as challenge their imagination.

I'm kind of like you, haven't been around much lately (having a baby drains you from doing much), but I'll enter for the heck of it. I understand if I don't qualify.

The Hobbit Trilogy: Extended Edition because although it's not as epic as LotR it's still great to be back in the world of Middle Earth!

1TB Hard Drive you can never have too much storage space on your PC.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Four-Movie Collection it's such a classic series that everyone should own.

Roku 3 if you love streaming movies / TV shows as much as me then this is a must have.

The Day the Crayons Quit (Book) if you have any kids then this is one of the best selling books. Never hurts to build your collection.

The Stephen Gammell illustrations in Scary Stories were the shit and the whole treasure in hardcover is only ten bucks on the Barnes and Noble website, which is an awesome deal because they recently republished them new (and crappier) art.

The Polor Express will always stick with me. I thought "Never Spit on Your Shoes" was some hilarious shit as a kid. And I loved "Round Trip" by Ann Jonas because you read through the book, and then flipped it upside and read it backwards, which changed the illustrations into new pictures. Blew my mind as a kid. Also, there were these stories with these beautiful cross hatching illustrations. I wish I could remember the title. I think it was like a young adult series (like Boxcar Children level) that just had a handful of illustrations in each book. I remember one of a rat character in a New York subway. Any ideas?

For me, the dividing line almost always lies in the main conflict.

For MG, the main conflict is home-based. By this I mean, whatever the goal of the main character is, it is directly linked to his/her home life. It could have larger repercussions, but the hero is in it for his home. Chasing Vermeer is a good example of this: the kids are solving an art mystery that the entire world is focused on, but they're solving it to save their own community.

For YA, the main conflict is world-based. The main character is doing something broader than him or herself or things linked directly to his/her life.

Another way to put it: MG is about the main character finding a place within his home. YA is about the main character finding a place within his world.

Really, this is the biggest dividing line to me--everything else is flexible.

I'm a youth and family program assistant at the library where I work. I could use some kids books! Well, a kids book since we're going for a $10 item and kids books are ridiculously expensive sometimes. I would love to have my own copy of The Day the Crayons Quit. It's always checked out from the library and it'd be nice to have a copy that I can take with me to storytimes without needing to plan it ahead of time. This science experiment book would be awesome, too, if you wanted to gift two people something around $5 each. I'm working on a series of STEAM storytimes. I'm really looking forward to it. This would be a great book to get ideas from.

Title: The Ghost of Lady Liberty

Genre: Children Historical Fiction Chapter Book (Grades 1-4)

Price: $0.99 (ebook)

Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076YY3CG2/

The response to the first book (Missing Gems of the Taj Mahal https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071NZRDQ2; free until Nov 07) encouraged me to write a second book in the series. Young children can follow along as Sid and Meg try to save history-and themselves-while learning about the Statue of Liberty. History, interesting facts, recent photographs and illustrations enhance the realistic narrative, making this an educational and entertaining book for readers aged 5-10.
Ananya Chopra, a sixth-grader like Sid, illustrated Sid’s journey to Lady Liberty in her friendly style.

Premise:
Sid Cooper is a soon-to-be sixth-grader who loves history, travel and photography—which come together in this second chapter book in a series about travel and adventure while solving a mystery in history.

A visit to the Statue of Liberty takes an unexpected turn when Sid and his sister Meg are magically transported... over 130 years into the past, to when the pedestal was being built, and the statue was still in pieces waiting to be assembled!

Sid and Meg get a first-hand history lesson, but soon realize that the statue may never be built! Sightings of a ghost are scaring the construction workers, who plan to leave the island without completing the pedestal. How will Sid and Meg solve the mystery of the ghost of Lady Liberty and get back to the present?

“The Squirrels who Squabbled” by Rachel Bright has rhyming that very much reminds me of the dr Seuss books and it’s a fun read. It also teaches about sharing.

I also highly recommend “Splat” by Jon Burgerman. It’s a quick read but it’s funny and my son loves it. Every time you turn the page, the object on the page lands on the characters face. First it’s a pie, then confetti. Here’s the link so you get the idea.

Jeremy Dooley of insigne created a really darling board book (and ebook) for younger children:

• https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/insigne/the-clothes-letters-wear
  
• http://smile.amazon.com/Clothes-Letters-Wear-Jeremy-Dooley-ebook/dp/B00KFTZA4C
  
  Though that's a bit young for your audience, showing off different styles of lettering in popular culture (games, movies, etc.) and helping students draw their own alphabets could be fun and engaging.
  
  http://prototypo.io is another extremely hands-on tool after you've explained some of the basic terminology.

Optimus Prime! My bunny's nickname is Hoptimus Prime!

I have this book, The Day the Crayons Quit, on my wishlist for both my kids at home and the kids in my classroom (and, I'll be honest, me). It's awesome and I've been wanting it for a long time.

Thanks for the contest :)

Sounds like you're doing fine, the newborn is probably taking a lot in and as long as you're meeting her needs and find time to make her happy I think you're doing all that you need in regards to her care.

As for the older children, especially the 4 year old, it would benefit her to learn that you won't bring things everyday, how to manage her frustrations (know when she needs to take a break), and how to play by herself for a little bit.

Learning how to see mistakes differently may help her too

What time do you get there during the day? Are you allowed to take them out of the house? Are they signed up for any activities? When do the older children get home?

Oh, I have no clue how I forgot hero, hero was a really great book. If you liked it I'd suggest draw the line, it's very new. http://smile.amazon.com/Draw-Line-Laurent-Linn/dp/1481452800/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464675694&sr=8-1&keywords=draw+the+line

These are for older kids but I love this series - Rosie Revere, Engineer, Iggy Peck, Architect, Ada Twist, Scientist

They are really well written rhyming books, I find so many kids books painful to read but these are great.

As with reading, writing improves with practice. Maybe have him keep a journal. He spends x amount of time writing everyday. I would build writing stamina, start with 5 minutes build to 10 after a few weeks, then up it to 15. I wouldn’t go higher than 20/30 minutes especially if he doesn’t enjoy it, because this could cause him to revolve against writing. He can write whatever he wants to during this time: stories, a description of his day, his thoughts as they flow through his head... if he is really having issues getting going have him draw a picture of a story/event and then write about it (or give him a picture and have him write a story about it). Having my daughter do this improved both her handwriting legibility AND her composition skills.

You could also look into books like “Journey” by Aaron Becker. These are no words only picture books which tell a story. The kids describe what is happening on the pages making up their own descriptions, dialogue, and plot. Even if he isn’t writing while narrating these he is still composing the story. My daughter LOVES these.

Here's a great book about tattoos you can share with your kids:

https://www.amazon.com/Tell-Tattoo-Story-Alison-McGhee/dp/1452119376

I hate to link Amazon but Goodreads is being silly now. I recommend checking it out from your local library. :) Then share the stories about your own tattoos! Or have the kids make one up.

No great advice, but you might check out the Todd Parr book It's Okay to Make Mistakes - does a good job reinforcing the messages you're trying to give him. Beautiful Oops is a good one too!

I had the I Spy haunted mansion CD-ROM game. My sis and I played it together all the time, but I couldn't admit that it was too spooky for me. Good memories.

I also loved these books where the scenes were made of everyday objects. They were so oddly satisfying and could keep me occupied for a long time just staring at the pages.

Not exactly along the lines of encouraging reading but my 5 year old really likes Journey. It's a picture book of an adventure that they get to make up their own story to go along with the pictures.

At 1 month- 3 months my baby was mostly really into black and white images he could stare at while doing tummy time and laying on his back. Two books that were really good for this because they unfolded and/or stood up on their own well were Art For Baby and Black & White by Tana Hoban. He still likes them at 9 months too, especially as they were some of the first books he was able to manipulate well with his hands (better than all his other board books), so they a good investment.

Good reminder for Bob's Burgers. I've been meaning to get back to that.

  Really any Tony Diterlizi, Dave Shannon, or Mo Williams books are good.
  
  ​

I've been thinking about it for a while tbh. You're obviously going to struggle to distill, say, dialectical materialism into a kid's book, but worker strength and overthrowing the ruling class is probably doable.

The thing is, most little kids' books don't have an antagonist. They're usually, at most, stories of personal growth against one's own mind or, sometimes, against nature.

I'd say one of the closest I've found is The Day the Crayons Quit.

This reminds me of a book we bought for our kids years ago. It's called "Beautiful Oops" and encourages making the most out of mistakes just like this one through art.

Here's the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Oops-Barney-Saltzberg/dp/076115728X

I would highly recommend the Journey Trilogy, here’s book one
My daughter loves it.

I think your daughter might enjoy this book: The Day the Crayons Quit.

It's a favorite in our household.

Funny children's book on that topic your kid would probably like.

My two year old and I love Journey by Aaron Becker.

Round Trip by Ann Jonas?

EDIT:

Some more links here and here. Also, watch a video here :-)

If you like cloud machines, you should read this book

Blue Balliett's series:

1. Chasing Vermeer
   
   
2. The Calder Game
   
   
3. The Wright 3
   
   Stephen Hawking's series:
   
   
4. George's Secret Key to the Universe
   
   
5. George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt
   
   
6. George and the Big Bang
   
   
7. George and the Unbreakable Code
   
   Others...
   
   The School Story (It has two female leads, not sure if that will be a deterrent for your nephews)
   
   Einstein Anderson series
   
   Encyclopedia Brown series
   
   Hardy Boys series
   
   Sammy Keyes series
   
   Check the ages. All of these are above a 5-year-old, unless you're reading to him. Most of what you're asking for will end up being detective mysteries.
   
   I wouldn't recommend nonfiction unless the subject matter matches their real-world interests... or you happen to know they prefer non-fiction.

Your comment reminded me of [this book] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Crayons-Quit-Drew-Daywalt/dp/0399255370). Highly recommended.

The first one sounds like it must be Round Trip by Ann Jonas. No guess on the 2nd one.
