Asking the Nostr moms if they know any good childrens books to bulk out the stockings this year.

What age range?

2-7

Ours liked the books by Sandra Boynton, they're silly rhyming books that helped Jr learn to read. For the 7, ours couldn't get enough of joke books around that age, Brenda Ponnay was a favorite, he liked the Bad Guys, Wayside School series, Nate the Great. My suggestion is whatever it is they like, get books related to that. We have tons of books that I would read to him, but reading on his own we let him grab what he wanted.

I like the look of Boynton actually, cheers.

I used to have them memorized 😂. Hippos

Go Berserk! and the Going to Bed Book were daily reads.

Bless 🙏

They are very good too, snuggly puppy is great

"The Grinch who stole Christmas" or any other Dr. Seuss Book

Dont like Seuss, cant put my finger on it. Don't hold it against me.

too MK Ultra? 😆

I'm not that warped. Just don't like his style.

Although the fact that he ran advertising for Standard Oil and worked in the animation dept of the US Military does warrant at least a moderate amount of suspicion.

The military association could be said of Dahl though, whose style I appreciate.

this i did not know. interesting

Hm, we have many amazing czech children books that are not translated or straight untranslatable, which is shame. Czechia has very neat, funny and lovely fairy tales (like robber Rumcajs or little Mole for smallest kids, those might be in your reach.) But if you want to please a boy around school age, I loved and my boys are now falling for "Nicolas' trouble" from Goscinny, illustrated by Sempé. I translated from czech, no idea how the book is called in english since it's several books and french. But it's hilarious, this book basically always ends in these little 2nd grade shits having a fistfight over some nonsense. Exactly like my sons.

If you wanted to be extra, give me target audience and I'll check out english corner in Prague's bookshops. 🤗

This guy looks cool 👀

He's awesome, however I never saw this graphic before. nostr:nprofile1qqspw5udc2nzw6wsj3plrrphe0343744h0ucz9e4g248chl3w8kh03qpzpmhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwghszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qg6waehxw309ac8junpd45kgtnxd9shg6npvchxxmmd9uygkqly uses the classic😁 It's about an honest shoemaker who gets opressed, pissed off and goes living in the woods as a robber. Later he finds a woman and they have a child. It's tons of little stories about meeting a bear or fighting the city soldiers sent after him.

Mo Willems Pigeon series and any of the books he wrote with the pig and elephant. My girls also really loved The Warriors series. They were books about warring cat factions. That would be for the older lass. They're younger kiddo chapter books. They'll both love the Mo Willems books though.

I may or may not have been a librarian in another timeline...

Just thought of another, ANYTHING Roald Dahl if you can get them pre-edit. (Abebooks.com is a bookmarked website on every computer I own.)

Pre edit always 🤝✅

Pigeon books are a good shout

Don't Let the Pigron Get on Nostr

We need the Pigeon more than ever.

Little Owl Lost!

Nice one, cheers

Anything by Jan Brett. Beautiful illustrations and stories.

Had a glance, love the artwork.

The side panel illustrations on each page foreshadow what’s to come in the story 🫢

I LOVED ant and bee as a kid

Oh man, I found a set of kids books in a second hand store, all from 1954. I'm away on holidays or I'd send a picture...

It's filled with non woke stories and even a song about 10 little Indians 😂

I need this, please send.

I remember collecting the Cecily Mary Barker fairy books too. Very cute.

What you want to avoid are the Mr men books because despite the tiny size they take a million years to finish and you really don't want those to be selected as the bedtime story.

How old ? boy or girl?

Also this is fun to read

Thanks chief.

The Gruffalo series!

Rhyming Bitcoin is a good one

Here's an obvious one 😄
