Here are 10 children's book authors that you should introduce to your children.
Eric Carle
He is one of my favorite children's book authors. He wrote The Very Hungry Caterpillar (about the transformational changes from egg to cocoon to butterfly), The Mixed Up Chameleon (about self-identity) and many more. The Very Busy Spider was also written for the visually impaired in mind with its raised printing.Dr Seuss
This author is well-known for his rhyming text such as in his books The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. He also stimulates children's imagination with his unusual creatures. Great books for beginning readers!J.K. Rowling
Some parents may be wary of this woman. She writes about witchcraft and wizardry. I personally have read all the Harry Potter series and I don't find anything wrong if my children read them. Rowling writes good English and that's what I want my children to be exposed to. Kids nowadays could learn a thing or two about the intricacies of long-lasting friendship.Enid Blyton
I grew up with Enid Blyton, reading The Famous Five series, the adventures at Malory Towers and St. Clare's, The Wishing Chair adventures, and many more. She also created the character Noddy. Her books have enjoyed great successes in many parts of the world. If your kids love adventure stories, you could introduce them to some of her books.Roald Dahl
I love this author! James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Twits, The BFG, and The Witches are some of my favorite children's book. His wickedly funny tales are cherished by children all over the world.Joanna Cole & Bruce Degen
If you want something educational for your children, try reading The Magic School Bus science series written by these two brilliant authors. They dwell on scientific explanations about everyday matters such as Inside the Human Body, On the Ocean Floor and Inside a Beehive. They bring young readers deep into the topic, literally. Sort of like a CSI cinematographical experience!C.S. Lewis
He wrote The Chronicles of Narnia, a wonderful collection of seven stories that will develop your children's vivid imagination. The most popular of the chronicle has to be The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Its tales of fascinating creatures and great battles between good and evil will continue to fascinate many generations to come.E.B. White
His two famous books, Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, are often regarded as classics in the field of children's genre. Many kids will grow up recalling the memorable tale of Wilbur, the little pig who became famous, with the help of his clever friend Charlotte.Lewis Carroll
His most famous books include Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Some considered his genre to be literary nonsense. But he really is one of the best writers and his books are often analyzed for its underlying messages. Children need not understand that; they could just enjoy the fantasy stories.Roger Hargreaves
Working with people who have different traits is one of the things children will have to learn in their lives. The Little Miss and Mister Men series are great books to showcase varied characters in people. Examples include Little Miss Shy, Little Miss Naughty, Mr. Mischief and the like. Children need to learn to accept people for who they are. Not only do your children learn about other people, they also learn something about themselves too.
If your children have not been exposed to these authors, make sure you get some books suggested above on your next trip to the bookstore. Their books are a must-have in every home.
