Hi All, Thank you for all your advises, I have got collected them and I will use then as a guide my books purchases on Amazon for my son. Unfortunately I have limited resources and I can't buy all the books recommended by you. My current purchase list is in P.S. of this message. The next purchase list (somewhere next year) starts with the following title: "The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame I must note my son likes making LEGO constructions and developing animation movies therefore my list have some titles on that subjects. As for classic books JC joked about he doesn't know why they are called classics - of course they are called classic books because they talk about eternal matters... if only we were able to understand that when we were young... Let me also note that my original message's list of classic authors is what is available here in Russian (and sometimes in English) (and was available in ex-USSRs times - and I did read all that authors that time) - so my "quest" was for the classic (and not only classic) books for kids, which are not known here - and I have got that long list from you - thank you a lot! Let's have this thread closed now. Thank you all again for your help. Have nice weekend. -- Shamil P.S. 1) The Little Engine That Could (Original Classic Edition) 2) Watership Down: A Novel, by Richard Adams 3) How the Heather Looks: A Joyous Journey to the British Sources of Children's Books 5) The Norton Anthology of Children's Literature: The Traditions in English 6) LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary 7) The Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide 8) LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One-Kit Wonders: Ten Inventions to Spark Your Imagination 9) Gardner's Guide to Animation Scriptwriting: The Writer's Road Map (Gardner's Guide series) -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo Sent: Saturday, October 10, 2009 10:18 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Firday OT: What books do 8 years old kids reads andlikes there? Good point Karen, many years since I read them but I do remember them being very exciting and of course, many have been made into films over the years.

Be careful of the arabiantales.org site. The original tales have a great deal of sexual content. Pretty mature for an 8 year old. Burton's translation was extremely shocking to the Victorians.

Hi Shamil, I loved the stories from 1001 Arabian Nights and also Aesop Fables. The latter always has a moral to the story. Here are some links. In particular the Aesop Fables enables your son to LISTEN to the story as well as read it. http://www.arabiantales.org/ http://aesopfables.com/ Max -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Shamil Salakhetdinov Sent: 09 October 2009 13:43 To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: [AccessD] Firday OT: What books do 8 years old kids reads and likes there? 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. -- Shamil -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4496 (20091010) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.esetnod32.ru __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4496 (20091010) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.esetnod32.ru
