Instead of asking adult what books their kids should read - we should ask the kids what books their parents should read!
Sheryl From: Hasafran [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Heidi Rabinowitz Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2016 9:08 PM To: Hasafran Subject: [ha-Safran] Classics vs. New Books So Pnina Moed Kass (author of STBA winner Real Time, 2004) sometimes sends me interesting librarianship articles, and she just sent this one from The Guardian newspaper in England about classics vs new books for kids. https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2016/jul/13/stop-pushing-the-same-classic-books-on-children-and-trust-modern-writing?CMP=share_btn_link Seems like when asked about "must read books" adults tend to answer with their own out-of-date favorites. They are not lucky like us librarians, they haven't read the more recent kidlit. So this made me wonder - within the genre of Jewish kidlit, what are your top ten classics and what are your top ten "must read books" that were published more recently (say within the last 10 years or so)? Just wondering... Heidi Rabinowitz [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
