  • Children's Book Classics
    Children’s Book Classics Chatterbooks activity pack Children’s Book Classics About this pack In this Chatterbooks pack we offer a list of some favourite children’s book classics and ask ‘What do you think is a classic book?’ Our list isn’t the ultimate list – there will be books on it which your group loves, books which they hate, books which they haven’t yet read but which we hope they will love. And there will be more books which you and your group think we’ve missed out, and need to be added to the list. It’s mainly agreed that a classic book is one which has stood the test of time, appealing to generation after generation. It can be read again and again, giving magic and pleasure, and sharing thoughts and feelings. As adults we can still read children’s classics and find yet more in their pages. Sometimes these books, from another time, can be difficult for children to access: re-tellings or films may help to transmit the magic at the heart of them. Can newer books be called classics? In our list we’ve included some quite recent books which are clearly favourites now and we think will continue to be relevant and will be enjoyed in the future. On p7 we give you some definitions we’ve found, to kick start your group’s discussions. As you’ll see, pinning down a classic book can be a really personal thing! In this pack you’ll also find discussion and activity ideas relating to the books on our list, and a mix of titles featured in more detail – including retellings, picture book favourites, newer titles, and examples from some of the different series of children’s classics.
