[AccessD] Firday OT: What books do 8 years old kids reads and likesthere?

Definitely Kipling!  Try the Puck of Pook's Hill books, Just So Stories
and Jungle Book.  I adored Lewis Carroll at that age but didn't care at
all for Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Andersen (boys might, but I
wasn't bloodthirsty enough for those "fairy" tales!).  My son adored
Tolkien's The Hobbit at that age, and I highly recommend that.  I didn't
appreciate Twain until I was older, but boys probably would related to
Tom and Huck better than I did.

Hi All,

 

I wanted to order some books in English from Amazon for my son.

 

Well, I should note my son is awaiting for several "Bakugan Battle
Brawlers Game Single LOOSE Figures" to come delivered from Amazon not
books - the kids are "crazy" about Bakugans here now and the best choice
of these toys is currently presented on Amazon.

 

And I wanted to use this opportunity to buy some books together with
Bakugans but not the very well known here books as e.g of the following
classic authors

 

Jack London, 

Mark Twain, 

Rudyard Kipling, 

Astrid Lindgren,

Brothers Grimm,

Charles Perrault, 

Hans Christian Andersen, 

Lewis Carroll, 

Frank Baum,

Carlo Collodi, 

James Fennimore Cooper, 

Jules Verne, 

Arthur Conan Doyle

.

 

But some other more rare books your kids read there at age of 8.

 

Could you please advise such books?

 

Would "The Norton Anthology of Children's Literature: The Traditions in
English" by Jack Zipes (Editor), Lissa Paul (Editor), Lynne Vallone
(Editor), Peter Hunt (Editor), Gillian Avery (Editor)  be a good choice
now for me to read it with my son to get more informed about your
children's'
literature, and to purchase some more books  in the future?

 

Thank you.
