Books are the windows to the world, and they play an important role in children’s growth and learning. Today, I want to share with you some of my 8-year-old son’s favorite books.
“The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L.Frank Baum
This is a classic fantasy novel that tells the story of Dorothy, a young girl from Kansas, who is swept away by a tornado to the magical land of Oz. In this land, Dorothy meets a series of interesting characters, including the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, and together they embark on a journey to find the Wizard of Oz and ask him to help them fulfill their wishes.
My son loves this book because of its vivid characters and imaginative storyline. He also likes the moral lessons it teaches, such as the importance of courage, friendship, and helping others.
“Charlotte’s Web” by E.B.White
This is a heartwarming story about a spider named Charlotte and a pig named Wilbur. Charlotte becomes Wilbur’s closest friend and helps him avoid being slaughtered by writing messages in her web, such as “Some Pig” and “Terrific.” The book explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and life.
My son likes this book because of its touching story and beautiful language. He also likes the characters in the book, especially Charlotte, who is kind, smart, and selfless.
“The Diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank
This is a true story about a Jewish girl named Anne Frank who lived in Amsterdam during World War II. She kept a diary during the Nazi occupation, documenting her thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The book offers a glimpse into the horrors of the Holocaust and the courage and resilience of its victims.
My son likes this book because of its historical significance and personal perspective. He also likes Anne Frank’s positive attitude and spirit of hope, despite the difficulties and dangers she faced.
These are just some of my 8-year-old son’s favorite books. He also likes other books, such as “Harry Potter” series, “The Chronicles of Narnia” series, and “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein. Reading is a great way for him to learn, imagine, and enjoy, and I’m happy to see him develop a love for books.
