Children Series Authors: R.L Stine Essay

I read the Adventure book Michigan Chillers Mayhem on Mackinac Island by Johnathan Rand. This book has 170 pages. According to Amazon a customer said “i love this book SO MUCH! it is the best!” I think that the intended audience for this book is 1st-6th graders because a first grader that is smart can read this book, and a 7th grader would not like this book because it is too easy for them.

My favorite childhood book was called, Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. Green Eggs and Ham is about how Sam wants his friend to try green eggs and ham, and after much convincing, he tries them and likes them (“WikiSummaries”, 2016). The theme of this book is about how you shouldn’t make up your mind about something without trying it. This book is about imagination and the genre of the story is comedy. I remember reading this book for the first time and I really enjoyed the book because it was funny and it was fun to read. I also learned a lot from this book because the theme is about how you shouldn’t make up your mind about something without trying it. This means you shouldn’t jump into not trying something fast without seeing if you

Now if you have pre teens or teenagers. The diary of the wimpy kid By: Jeff Kinney is a great series for the more experienced young reader. As well as The Percy Jackson series By: Rick Riordon. I personally have read these books as well. They are very entertaining and fun to

The author I chose for this project was Jane Yolen. Before this project I had never heard of her; after this project I was shocked that I never had. Going through the list of authors and illustrators on the Reading Rockets website I decided the way I was going to choose my author was by a catchy title of the book under their name. When I cam across Jane the title under her name was How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? Being a dinosaur lover that instantly caught my eye.

My experience with literature started when I was in the first grade. My first-grade teacher was named Ms. Young. Every Friday, all the teachers would come together to have story time and read the children a book. I would be so excited for story time because I would sit down with my best friends Ashley and Jordan, and we would listen to the teacher that was assigned to read to us. During story time, all the children would gather around in a big circle and the teacher would be in the center in a big brown rocking chair, and read. Over time in the school year, the children would read bigger and longer books like the Junie B. Jones series, chapter books, and the extreme level, which would be the Harry potter series. Sometimes I would fall asleep because the book that was read was very dull. I remember Ms. Young read to us the “Very Hungary Caterpillar”9 by Eric Carle. I loved that book as a child. It had great illustrations of the caterpillar turning into a butterfly. This book made me love reading for the rest of my life. Now in college, I love to read books. I only

The book I selected was How the Grinch Stole Christmas because it was the first “big kid” book that I learned to read. My mom read it to me as a goodnight story. After I learned how to read it with my mom, I would read it every night with my brother and sister. This was the first book that I had always begged to read, no matter how many times I had read it, it was always very interesting, funny, and adventurous. The Dr. Seuss book How the Grinch Stole Christmas is the story of when The Grinch did not like Christmas at all but every Who in Whoville liked Christmas a lot.

The David Pelzter book I choose was “A Child Called It,” I’d never read it before so I was excited to get into it. A quick Google search found me the PDF of the book and I began reading it immediately. The first thing I noticed was the cover, I knew the book was familiar and instantly remembered seeing it all through my primary and secondary educational settings. I use to read books for fun before I started college, but since starting I had absolutely no real free time, so this assignment was a breathe of fresh air.

While reading The New Kids, a couple of things caught my attention: the memoirs the students wrote, the story of Ngawang, and the feeling of being at International High School. I think the author did a great job introducing the school and how the students come from all kinds of countries and backgrounds.

As a child I used to beg my mother to take me to the bookstore, because I had finished my newest Junie B. Jones book the night prior. I owned and read every Junie B. Jones ever made. As I got older I read through many other series. Such as the Babysitters Club, Goosebumps, Sweet Valley High, and the Boxcar Children. I would stay up all night reading

One of the most memorable being, Where the Red Fern Grows By Wilson Rawls. Up until then, we listened to books like My Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder and Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, all light hearted and humorous. Though Where the Red Fern Grows was not unsettling or overly depressing, it was off beat from the others. For about two months we followed Billy and his two coonhounds, Old Dan and Little Ann, through the hills of the Ozarks. With Ms. Powell's unique tones and voices she delegated to each character, she effortlessly breathed life into these stories. She would take on the character of Mr.Kyle, a hunter in the championship coon-hunt, with a rugged deep voice. She would scruff out the lines, "People been trying to understand dogs since the beginning of time...Some people call it loyalty...but I call it love, the deepest kind of love." Not only could she imitate a realistic impression of Mr. Kyle, but she knew how to differentiate her voice between other male characters like Papa and Grandpa. No two characters ever sounded alike. My favorite was when she impersonated Mama, making her sound sweet like apple pie and as gentle as a lamb. As our teacher read, the words danced off the page and painted pictures in our minds. We were all transported to the Cherokee Land in northeastern Oklahoma during the 1930's. Lucky for us, we had a front seat witnessing how this wondrous story

Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, is perhaps one of the most beloved children’s authors of the twentieth century. Although he is most famous as an author of children’s books, Geisel was also a political cartoonist, advertisement designer, and film director (Kaplan). He used the power of imagination to produce unforgettable children’s books and helped solve the problem of illiteracy among America’s children.

Stephen King is one of the best selling and famous American authors of the modern era. King has written many heavily detailed stories that are used in realistic settings which allow the reader to engage in the reading.

Horror and psychological themes are prominent in Stephen King’s novels and short stories.

I agree with Victor Nell a psychologist of the pleasure of reading, he says “ when readers are enjoying a the experience the most, the pace of their reading actually slows.” I have noticed this from personal experience when I am reading a book and I am enjoying it then I slow down while I read I take my time to really try to imagine and feel what the characters are going thru or try to picture their situation as if I was them. When I have a good book I picture the settings,the charter, their homes their lives. I usually read books that are about teens going through difficult situations my favorite author is Ellen Hopkins. Her novels are very different she talks about things other authors might not feel comfortable writing about her writing can make a person feel that they are right there with

Throughout the 20th century, there have been many wonderful authors. But there is one author that has written many great books that lots of people still read today. His name is Roald Dahl.

I believe that Roald Dahl is one of the best children’s book authors because he has lots of creativity and inspiration for his stories.
