Word Count: 538 Parents seeking most popular children’s picture books will be interested in this. Books open avenues for exploration, amusement, and knowledge for your child. The pages invite different worlds and adventurous experiences into your home and equip your child to enjoy learning. Studies have shown that children who are exposed at an early age to reading do better in school than those who are not exposed. Sharing read-aloud picture books with children helps develop their listening skills, cognitive learning, and improve levels of concentration. It can be the single most valuable tool parents can introduce to their child. Being able to address fears and anxieties through books creates a comfortable environment to help children understand their feelings. Finding the best children’s picture books to effectively attend to such issues can be difficult.
Parents who are experiencing issues with a child who is not comfortable speaking know how frustrating it can be. Being shy or unable to properly voice a desire can be equally as frustrating for a child. Many parents do not realize that a great deal of their own attitudes and gestures can significantly attribute to their child’s inability to express his desires in words as other children. Recommended by the Newfoundland & Labrador Association of Speech-Language Pathologists & Audiologists, Oliver Has Something to Say! by Pamela Edwards is “a top-rated children’s picture book with a humorous and enchanting story to encourage children to speak up” (Montreal Review of Books, Spring 2007). It is one of those children’s picture books that will introduce in a comical and laughable way a problem that is very common to many children but difficult to change. Teachable moments are found through the pages of good, quality books.
Does Oliver want more spaghetti? Is his wish really for a train set? How can anyone know what Oliver wants if he will not tell them? Oliver’s parents do not know the answers to these and so many other questions because Oliver does not have anything to say or does he? Coupled with a bossy sister who loves to talk for him and parents who just want to help his shy nature, Olive has a difficult time finding his voice. In reality, Oliver’s head is full of ideas and his voice is very present, it’s simply that no one can hear him yet. Pamela Edwards in her award-winning picture book for children, Oliver Has Something to Say! gives the ability to speak to those children who haven’t quite learned to express what they think. Beautifully illustrated, this children’s picture book is a humorous approach to conquering an inability to share thoughts. Oliver learns that he does have something to say. When he finds his voice, there is no stopping him! Share this gentle, fun story with your child in the story time club via YouTube.
