Little Golden Books - Parents Can Build Childrens Self Esteem with Stories and Fairytales!
HOW DO BOOKS LIKE LITTLE GOLDEN BOOKS BUILD A CHILD'S SELF ESTEEM?
Fairytales and Children's tales have been used as character building stories to develop Self Esteem since the beginning of time.
Did you ever stop to think about what the Top Ten best selling children's books of all time are, why these particular kid's books achieved that illustrious status? Without exception it is because they impart positive, character building messages and because they boost child self esteem not only in their young readers but for their parents too.
Did you know, for example that the Number One best selling child's book in history (by millions of copies), is one of the Little Golden Books "The Poky Little Puppy" with its strong character building message as this slow-moving puppy outwits his faster siblings and eats their dessert two nights in a row only to discover that on the third night the other puppies play a trick on Poky Puppy.
At Number Two Beatrix Potter's mischievious "Peter Rabbit" is gently giving children self esteem messages about accepting the consequences of their behavior and self acceptance even when you encounter others who may not like you.
At Number Three, another one of the Little Golden Books the children's classic "it's okay to be different" self concept building story, "Tootle"-- the baby train who attends Train School so that he can grow up to be a fast-moving locomotive. Tootle really wants to do well in school, but he is constantly tempted by his desire to explore the world beyond the train tracks.
The extra delight is that all of these childrens classics were written in the early 1900's long before the modern trend towards Child Psychology in Parenting and the growing industry of child development experts.
In the Top Ten best loved childrens books you'll also find at number four, Dr. Zeus's "Green Eggs and Ham" with its hero Sam I Am, the ultimate youngster who believes in himself and his ability to change self-limiting beliefs in others. In fact, kudos go to Dr. Zeus, who has more children's books in the Top 150 Best Selling Childrens Books of All Time, than any other best selling childrens author by far -- seventeen different children's titles!
