Try to google it.  Or go to Ask Jeeves for kids.\nLibrarians also seem to know the reference section really well.  They love to help.

Well, when I saw this question I immediately thought of DR. Spock.  I found an article that might be helpful for you, it is entitled "Little scientists: How young Children Think"\nis about cognitive development, several ideas.\n\nThis does not really answer your question, but it should give you an answer.\n\nhttp://www.drspock.com/article/0,1510,3899,00.html\n\nHope this helps,

Eragon, written by Christopher Paolini. He was a teen as he wrote this.\n\nThe Pendragon series by D.J. McHale the first book is titled "The Merchant of Death". Bobby Pendragon is the 14 yr old middle schooler who grew up perfectly normal, but finds out he is a time traveler of sorts and must save the world. He travels to another dimension world and must solve mysteries to solve the problem. Very good read, it draws you in. \n\nCheck Pendragon out because it is such a unique book, the title is misleading as it seems so dark, But Bobby is a Jr high student that finds out his life was not at all what he thought and that he has responsibilities he may not care for.\nThis book was read in our family by my four kids they were all between grade 5 and 8 when they started the series. My eldest used to wait for the books to release. My husband and I have both read them.  They deal well with teens, have mystery elements  fantasy elements and sci fi elements. Violence is minimal and not at all gory, no  graphic content of any sort.

He's a young adult author.  He's written After the First Death, I am the Cheese, and The Chocolate War.  Good books but have been considered controversial for use in the classroom.

I have a favorite book given to me by a mentor.  My 21 year old drew on inside cover when he was 2.  I was mad at the time, but now it is an endearing memory.\n\nThe same goes for the liberty bell.  It is an endearing memory of the first time it was rung when it cracked.

I read somewhere that children lately, even if they have parents who read to them regularly (every day or very nearly), have a hard time learning to read. The article I read specifically mentioned movie stories (like the book version of a disney film) as examples of "bad" books. The idea as I recall is that the ideas may have been suitable for children--and they were probably familiar with the story anyway from having seen the movie--but the words themselves, and perhaps the sentence structure, went way over their heads.\nSo for linguistic features of a good storybook, I'd say rhythm, rhyme, and easy words.

when i was a kid i had a great book, called "powers of ten".  it was one of those time-life books or something and it mainly consisted of a series of photographs or illustrations, where each page was zoomed in by a factor of 10 from the page before it.  in the middle was a picture of a man sleeping in some grass in a park in chicago, and if you went forward you zoomed down all the way in to his protons and quarks, and if you went backwards you zoomed all the way out to the mass of galaxies.\n\nit really is an excellent book for kids, and a great thing to just stare at and wonder.  see the link on amazon below.

Get some children's books  in any store , starting with the most simple words .\nA little book is much easier to take in your hands and go through all the words over and over again .

I'm of English descent, and "Dick Whittington and his Cat" was  an important story to me.  And all the Kipling "Just So Stories for Little Children" and his two "Jungle Books."  Also L. Frank Baum's Oz books (the ones actually written by Baum himself).
