  • Wonder Read English
    Wonder Read Reading Begins at Home t is never too soon to introduce your child to books. As parents, you are a major influence in I helping your child learn to love books and to develop the habit of reading. The UES Gonda Family library staff invites you to visit the library to check out books to share with your child and to ask us how we can help you find books that both you and your child will enjoy. Here are some basic points to keep in mind when selecting books and sharing literature with your child. Babies and Pre-Nursery School: • Select books that stimulate your child’s sense of sight. Books should be colorful, clear and uncluttered. • Young children respond to the sound of language. Look for books with rhythm, exciting sounds and repetition, such as Mother Goose. • Wordless picture books encourage children to participate with the parent to create their own stories. • Select board or cloth books which children can enjoy on their own. Children Ages 3 to 5: • Keep books handy everywhere throughout the house and in the car. Include books with toys so that children are just as likely to pick up a book as they are to pick up a toy. • Young children enjoy hearing the same book read over and over. • Young children enjoy books with combinations of rhythm, repetition and familiar objects. Mother Goose and simple folk tales are ideal for this age. • Look for books with simple sentences, action, humor and a clear sequence of events. • Select books that invite children’s participation in the story.

  • The Borrower Book List
    The Borrower Book List Since The Borrower appeared in 2011, I’ve had a number of people ask if I have a list of all the books Lucy gives Ian. I didn’t until a lovely reader named Sharon Cox actually went through the whole book and wrote down all the ones she could find. There are many more books in The Borrower alluded to but not mentioned by name. There are quite a few fake books mentioned by (fake) name. There are several book parodies, where Lucy starts narrating in the style of a famous book. There are also many authors and poets mentioned. This is a list of one particular thing: the real books and book series mentioned by name. Most are for children around Ian’s age, but some are for adults, and two are for very young children. It is also, almost certainly, incomplete. Of this list, there are a few I’d certainly recommend more than others. If you were ten years old and I had three minutes to fill your backpack with books, the ones I’d pick would be The Westing Game, The Giver, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, The Egypt Game, The Twenty-One Balloons, and The Princess Bride. Oh, and The Pushcart War. (It’s hard to stop.) Chapter 1 1) Matilda (Roald Dahl) 2) Little House in the Big Woods (Laura Ingalls Wilder) 3) Fantastic Mr. Fox (Roald Dahl) 4) Green Eggs and Ham (Dr. Seuss) 5) Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing (Judy Blume) 6) D’Aulaires’ Greek Myths (Ingri d’Aulaire & Edgar Parin d'Aulaire ) 7) The Wheel on the School (Meindert Dejong) 8) The Egypt Game (Zilpha Keatley Snyder) 9) Theater Shoes (Noel Streatfeild) 10) My Side of the Mountain (Jean Craighead George) 11) From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs.
