Erklärungen
PitcherBooks: Multiple award winner. JF, YA, All Ages. Humorous tale of a brave girl genius with neglectful parents sent to a school - terrible in every way - except for her one wonderful teacher, Ms. Honey, and her poor put-upon classmates :-) Trials and tribulations abound but she overcomes all to a happy and satisfying end. The movie is well-done also.
sturlington: Terrific book!

PitcherBooks: JF. 1963 Multiple Award-Winner. KidLit fantasy classic written & illustrated by Maurice Sendak. Naughty Max is sent to his bedroom. His bedroom transforms to a jungle and he sails to the Island of the Wild Things but then decides to return home. Equally appealing to boys & girls. Every kid needs a copy. Totally skip the horrendous movie.

PitcherBooks: JF. 1994 Multiple Award-Winner. A cute and humorous wordless picture book of bedtime at the zoo. Not everyone wants to go to bed at bedtime! ... Of course, if you or your particular kid doesn't like it, give it a thumbs down. "sturlington: I have read a lot of these books. I decided to use this list to track books I have read with my son. I'll thumbs down books I wouldn't read with my son or that didn't work for him." Which makes me discount most of sturlington's ratings and comments as limited and anecdotal.

Erklärungen
PitcherBooks: KidLit Classic. Politically Correct CHILDREN'S VERSIONS AVAILABLE. Original fairy tales written by Hans Christian Anderson, Denmark, between 1835 & 1872. Free ebook at Gutenberg.org. I've always enjoyed HCA's fairy tale collections better than any other possibly because I found them more full-bodied, interesting or entertaining than most. The Tinderbox, The Princess and the Pea, Thumbelina, The Little Mermaid, The Wild Swans, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, etc. All wonderful stories to this day. There are as many HCA storybook collection editions as there are individual picture books based on HCA's stories. Illustrators have done some of their best work on both the collections as on the individual picture book stories. Get one of the HCA collections with a top illustrator: Michael Adams, Edmund Dulac, Kay Nielsen, William Heath Robinson, Gennady Spirin, Margaret Tarrant, Lizbeth Zwerger, .... Of course, if you or your particular kid doesn't like it, give it a thumbs down. "sturlington: I have read a lot of these books. I decided to use this list to track books I have read with my son. I'll thumbs down books I wouldn't read with my son or that didn't work for him." Which makes me discount most of sturlington's ratings and comments as limited and anecdotal.
sturlington: Read most of them. Some of them I found inappropriate--even more so than Grimm.
