Extractions: This English illustrator entered fully into the imaginative world of childhood. So forceful is her imagination that the viewer is compelled to see dolls and toys as the living beings the child plays with. She draws so finely, and her coloring is so exquisite, that we hold our breaths when looking at her pictures lest they evaporate. It is remarkable that they survived color separation and printing. Appleton identifies with children at play as fully as any illustrator. One imagines her in her fifties on the floor with her teddy bears and dolls. Hers are truly reports from childhood. The Josephine books are her largest achievement, but every book she illustrated is marked with very feminine sensibility and rare skill.

North County Times - North San Diego And Southwest Riverside County News Figures from kiddie lit become sleuths in two adult whodunits first in Fforde splanned series of police procedurals featuring nursery rhyme characters. http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2005/07/28/special_reports/books/19_18_297_23_05
Extractions: "The Tale of Holly How" (Berkley Prime Crime) is the second in Albert's "Cottage Tales" series in which children's book author-illustrator Beatrix Potter investigates crimes with help of her animal neighbors. In the early 1900s in the English village of Sawrey (where Potter really lived), well-liked shepherd Ben Hornby is found dead. Potter and her four-legged friends suspect murder, although neither evidence nor motive is apparent. Jack Spratt can eat no fat, but he can investigate crimes as he does in "The Big Over Easy" (Viking), the first in Fforde's planned series of police procedurals featuring nursery rhyme characters. Spratt, detective inspector of the Nursery Crime Division, and his assistant, Sgt. Mary Mary, have a murder case that involves shell fragments not from a weapon, but from the victim, Humpty Dumpty. His fall from a wall on Easter appears to be a case of "fowl" play, so the sleuths scramble to find the killer of Dumpty, whose past indicates he might not have been such a good egg.
A Selection Of Children's Songs - Folk Music Children s songs, from your About.com Guide. THE HUBBARDS Old MotherHubbard - Olde Mother Goose Classic nursery rhymes - North Star http://www.balladtree.com/articles/000123a.htm
Extractions: Children's Songs Children's songs are in great demand and make up perhaps the largest corner of the folk music market. But there's a lot of syrupy schlock out there which is about as good for kids' minds as soda pop is for their teeth - including songs about brushing their teeth. Historically, good economic times make the middle class sentimental about children. They are all cute little angels - except for the occasional monster. During these periods, children's charities experience a big boom while the larger social and economic causes of their plight get ignored. Children's entertainment takes on a Martha Stewart mentality - insulating fantasies and lessons for good living. There was a big boom in "children's culture" during the flush Victorian Age, for instance, both here and in England. Mark Twain, one of the few to keep his head, excoriated writers who used literature to moralize at kids and to instruct them about everything from manners and geography. This only succeeded in creating bad literature and making children hate it. On the other hand, some of our most cherished children's writers came from the same period: Twain here, Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear in England. The Brothers Grimm were rediscovered about this time too, and the Child Ballads were collected by - who else - Child. Coincidence?
Extractions: Talk with your child. There is no substitute for time spent talking with your child about experiences and ideas of interest. Remember that talking "with" your child is quite different from talking "at" your child. Even young infants, who cannot yet produce speech, benefit from adults' talking with them. Also, it is important to provide children with appropriate language and usage. Although imitating a child's attempts at language has a role, it is important to provide a child with the appropriate use of language as well to support his or her growth in using language. Listen to your child. Be patient. Allow time for thoughts to be completed. What children want to say is important to them, and you will learn from what they have to say. This is particularly important with the youngest children, who have limited words to express complex thoughts. For example, shortly after children use their first words, a period occurs where they use groups of two words to convey the meaning adults put into entire sentences. By patiently allowing your child to "get the words out," you can then interpret what the child is trying to say.

Extractions: There are a number of steps that you and other family members can take to help prepare your young children to become readers and to support the reading habit once they are in school. These include: Feed your child a diet of rich language experiences throughout the day. Talk with your infants and young children frequently in short, simple sentences. Tell stories, sing songs, recite nursery rhymes or poems, and describe the world around them to expose them to words. Name things. Make connections. Encourage your child's efforts to talk with you. Try to read aloud to your children for 30 minutes daily beginning when they're infants. Ask caring adults to be your children's daily reader when you are unavailable. Have your child's eyesight and hearing tested early and annually. If you suspect your child may have a disability, seek help. Evaluations and assessments are available at no cost to you. Call the early childhood specialist in your school system or call the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities at 800-695-0285 (Voice/TTY). Seek out childcare providers who spend time talking with and reading to your child, who make trips to the library, and who designate a special reading area for children.
