Hello, bookworms!
Summer means sunscreen, swimsuits, and — of course! — summer reading. Having said which, the lockdown means not much (or any) of the above. Is there anything better than cuddling up with your child, a big stack of children’s books, and no place to go? However, when your child is very young, reading is primarily about bonding, not building IQ; the language boost your child gets is a bonus. The act of reading itself is a chance to slow down and spend time together. It’s that connection that’s behind instilling a lifetime love of reading in children. So don’t worry if she’d rather mouth the pages than follow the story for now. Instead, enjoy one-on-one time.
Summer sizzles when you add the excitement of a good children’s book! If you like, you can talk about the pictures in the book instead of reading the words. Could you and your child make up a story together? Do what you can and as much as you’re comfortable with.
Here’s a list of children’s books to give you company as temperatures soar and days grow long.
1. Jasper & Ollie(Recommended for children between 6 – 8 years)

The Best of Tenali: Tales of Wit and Adventure(Recommended for children up to 8 years)

Necks come in many sizes, and sometimes those sizes seem inconvenient. Learning to appreciate one’s body in all its complicated and even ungainly forms is a laudable moral. This children’s book teaches us to solve each other’s problems and delight in each other’s strengths, thereby also learning to accept themselves as just right. Available on: Amazon.in 5. Look I’m an Engineer(Recommended for children between 3 – 5 years)
Children are born with everything they need to be great engineers: inquisitive minds, unlimited imagination, and super senses. This is a hands-on early childhood book about making things: a gravity painter, a parachute, paper planes, a raft, a boat that goes with a rubber band, a solar stove, insect homes, bridges, a sugar-cube pyramid, an air-propelled rocket. Good ideas for young children with adult assistance. Available on: Amazon.in |
