More picture books for children
The following well loved picture books for children below are suitable for 3 - 7 year olds.
Choose children's books that create a rich literacy environment and they will inspire the children to draw, to create characters with art materials and to act out the stories. Provide opportunities for kids to ask questions about what they have heard or read .
I have also used the books below, with students from grades Kindergarten to 12, for teaching art based on the styles of the various illustrators.
Criteria for choosing good picture books for reading to groups of children:
- the book is still interesting when it is read over and over
- the illustrations are recognizable from a distance
- the story instigates discussions and questions
- the book is interesting to a variety of grades
- the images are suitable for clarifying the meaning of words and concepts in the story
