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

Shamil,

This is a wonderful and ambitious list of authors; most 8 year olds here are not reading at this level yet!

I'm sure my nephew-age 9-is more about Captain Underpants than about Jules Verne.  

My daughter-age 18-came home this week with a list of perhaps 75 classic novels and the assignment to pick one and write a 5 page critical essay.  I, English major that I was, turned to our bookshelves and quickly pulled out 6 or 7 from the list that I could also recommend for her taste.  She said, "why aren't you an English teacher?".  I had to reply that it is because I don't like kids-they don't do as they are told! 

I will put together a longer list of suggestions and send to you off line.

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.
