WHY IS A GOOD STORY OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE IN CHILDREN'S BOOKS?

Written by Mister Wilson-Astoryplus Children’s Books

Children’s books are being written everyday by veteran authors and new authors alike. They are being produce by professional and amateur writers and many others who have decided that they too can create children’s books. There are authors who are consciously trying to adhere to a style and there are those attempting to create all new styles and patterns of children’s books. There are also hundreds of revised and newly embellished versions of many of the old classic stories. As with anything where there is lots of individual creative producers, there is bound to be a wide assortment of good, bad, and ugly children’s books produced.
Now all the children’s books of old and new being thrown into one humongous pile forms a mountain range of children’s books. And like finding a needle in a haystack, parents and teachers are tasked with selecting the best of the lot. And with busy schedules and overflowing work loads there is very little time to go mining for the best children’s books. You also do not want to allow passage of books to your children by forfeiture or default. There must be something to help make the best selections of the lot of children’s books easier. And not just the marketing, the accessories, the gimmicks, and the adorable characters. Children’s books are adorned with tons of appealing aspects and any one of them are powerful enough to drive the sale of the books.
Indeed, children’s books are equipped with several components able to convince you to buy, but a good story is paramount. A good story means that all or most of the component of the story are present. The story is casted well with lead and support characters that navigate the pages of the book. The setting must be consistent and appropriate for the story to take place and unfold. The theme too must be one with the setting and believable that the characters could find themselves in similar situations. The plot must have a good rhythm and pace so that excitement builds through the conflict, climax, and the resolution of the story. In a good story all the components, of characters, setting, theme, plot, conflict, climax, and resolution work homogeneously. The story is orderly, purposeful, easy to follow without being predictable and is memorable.
Many children’s books that hit the market have been reviewed. It may be a good idea to begin by reading the opinions of these nonbiased reviewers that are published in their periodicals. Children’s books abstracts provide some insight and a quick thumb through should be enough to select or reject the books based on the quality of the story. When you have identified the type of story quality that meets your criteria, you may use that story as a standard bearer for future selections. If a book is endowed with a good story, it has a better than average chance of being entertaining, educational and/or empowering to children. A good story should be of paramount importance because without it you can not have a good book. Written by Mister Wilson, Astoryplus Children’s Books…

Are there great benefits in fact-based fiction children’s books?
By Mister Wilson-Cory The Caterpillar Children’s Books
https://www.corythecaterpillar.com

Fact-based fiction children’s books rings of an obvious oxymoron. Facts and fiction are contradictions and thought to be on opposite sides of the truth spectrum. Perhaps fact-based fiction can be explained with a more familiar phrase like “based on a true story”. Stories based on a true story are biographical in that the events took place in the past and they are recreated in a story. Oftentimes the main characters retain their real names and plays the roles as they were witnessed, remembered, or recorded. Based on truth stories usually follow closely to many of the actual event of some specific real-life stories. However, there are some areas where the truth gets a little fuzzy like some character’s names may be changed. Sometime this is done to protect the innocence or to avoid some legal implications of using them. Characters and events may also be added, and their significance may be inflated to fill voids in the story or to set up some actual events that needs some substantiating. Of course, there are other embellishments or omissions used to enhance the excitement, entertainment value and pace of the stories.
Fact-based fiction are also stories based on true stories. The stories are not necessarily biographical nor are they specific-life-stories based on truth. The facts are more general and common and may reoccur in other like characters or species. For example, it is true that all caterpillar pass through a life cycle of stages including the egg, caterpillar or larva, the cocoon, and finally the butterfly. This then would be the basis of the truth of caterpillars maturing to butterflies’ stories. But because the themes and plots are seldom based on some eyewitness account of one specific real caterpillar, it is fact-based generally verses based on a specific true story. The last part of the phase is fiction which in this case may mean that the author has full liberties to embellish as he or she pleases.
So, in what ways are fact based-fiction books beneficial to children? First, they present characters that give children a real-life reference. It helps children to attend to see something that they may see frequently appearing or occurs in nature in a story. Second, the real-life reference gives children some beginning insight to the character. Children may have some ideas of the characters and how their characteristics will structure how they will act within the story. This may help develop the children’s creativity or imagination. Third, the children can begin to see what lines exist between the real life and the character within the story. Children’s ability to distinguish harmless embellishments from dangerous real-life encounters or events may begin to become clearer. Fourth, the facts of the stories are being presented to the children. The stories are teaching the facts in ways that children can easily attend and retain. Last, fact-based fiction are excellent lead-in stories to expand children’s knowledge and skills. The entertainment and excitement of these stories may be used to introduce additional information and answer questions related to the stories. Seamlessly children may move from the fictional stories into knowledge that has immediate or future academic value. In these and other ways, fact-based fiction stories have great benefits in children’s books. Written by Mister Wilson-Cory The Caterpillar Children’s Books. https://www.corythecaterpillar.com

Do children’s books belong in the toy box?
By Mister Wilson-Cory The Caterpillar Children’s Books
http://www.corythecaterpillar.com

Children books do not belong in the toy box nor the sand box! They are not carpet surfboards, bike ramps, flying saucers or mud pie platters. They are not CDs, movies, or video games! Our children have plenty of these types of things to entertain themselves with 24/7.
Children’s books do not have to substitute nor supplement for toys or other things of leisure. Yet we often choose our children’s books as if they were for recreational purposes. We are influenced by spin-offs from daytime kid shows, popular children’s movies, cartoons, and superheroes. Moreover, we often select our children’s books because they are cute, funny, or even silly.
Children’s books are among the first thing purchased for the cognitive development of our children. They are introduced at a very crucial time in the lives of children. A time when the fundamentals and foundation of all learning is beginning to be formed. We expect that the books will set our children upon a course to have success in school, at play, in college or work, and ultimately in life. More immediately, we expect that the books will teach the children colors, shapes, number, to read, to write, to test, morals, and to use and retain knowledge etc.
With such great expectations, we should at least conclude that children’s books are definitely not toys or playthings. Children’s books are educational tools! This is an important concept for us all because it should guide us in the selection and purchase of books for our children. The selection of children’s books should reflect an understanding that they will begin to lay the foundation upon which all future learning will be built. The soundness of this foundation will impact children’s short and long-term success or failure. With all that we expect as parents and all those things’ children will require to have success, we should try to assure that a significant number of our children’s books are truly educational tools!

Is there a reluctance to scrutinize children’s books?
Written by Mister Wilson-Astoryplus Children’s Books
http://www.astoryplus.com

Children’s books must earn passage to our children. This may seem absurd to many parents, guardians, and teachers. Because many of them cannot see themselves being critical of children’s books. A significant number of adults generally group all children’s books into one homogenous pile labeled adorable. Yes, there is a general reluctance to scrutinize children’s books. This must be overcome so that we may choose the best and most beneficial books for our children. The contemporary expectations of children demands that we w**d out the least beneficial and allow only those that earn passage to gain passage.
Advertisements, promotions, and marketing plays a huge role in the distribution and sales of children’s books. Parents, teachers, librarians, and others responsible for their acquisition are not immune to the persuasion of hype. Oftentimes we find ourselves yielding the passage of books to our children without sending them through even the most basic of evaluative processes. Popularity does not nor does well marketed always mean the children books will be good or beneficial. We should at least want to determine if the children will be safe from lead-based inks or harmful plastics that the books may contain.
The content and subject matter should be consistent with our own values, beliefs, and goals for your children. It is important too that the concepts and illustrations are not confusing and cause the children a miscalculation that has injurious consequences.
The criteria used to evaluate the children’s books content should include items related to the book’s ability to entertain, educate, and empower. These components will vary greatly in their distribution depending on the selection and type of books chosen. A blend of these component is most desirable. It is reasonable that some books purchases could and should be solely for fun, joy, laughter, and the amusement of children. But no children’s books should be purchased and allowed passage to children without scrutiny. All should have to clear a high bar to gain access to children we are charged to educate and protect. We must not continue to be reluctant to scrutinize children’s books. Afterall, children are our most precious assets! Astoryplus Children’s Books Blog… astoryplus.com
