Fox Kids Books

Because of this independent online retail outlets such as The Children’s Bookstore have been created. Websites such as this offer select list of the highest quality books for children. These are books with delightful entertaining stories written by some of America’s most creative and talented authors. They are also illustrated using hand drawn images. Most mass production picture books are poorly drawn by computer artists. Beautiful books like “The Heart of Nine Tigers” are rarely produced by major publishers. They prefer instead to publish books for children with tie-ins to movies or to make books that are thin plot sequels to other stories.

In creating one of his many storybooks for children “Bartram and the Blue Morning Glory” author Keith Lawrence Roman returns to his roots as a superb storyteller. Noted for his work in young adult fiction, Keith blends the elements of a more advanced novel into the delightful tale for children age 7 to 12. The young reader sees through the eyes of little Bartram, an endangered beach mouse found only on one tiny little island off the coast of Florida. Bartram is afraid of snakes and owls and most of all cats! Still he is a natural born leader who finds courage to care for all of the animals in his special sand dune world.

Where are all the good books for children? Where will the next “Little Prince” or “Polar Express” come from? When Antoine de St. Exupery wrote “The Little Prince,” some 60 odd years ago, he originally intended it to be a novel for adults. It was and remains a bit of a scathing satire of the foolish values we adults develop. With the passage of years “The Little Prince” drifted solidly into the realm of children’s book classics. Heartwarming books like the “Polar Express” and thought provoking children’s literature as created by St. Exupery are what Morningside Books exclusively publish.

These books are the children’s classics of tomorrow. Some, such as “The Heart of Nine Tigers,” are so accurate in description and illustration of time and place they qualify as historical fiction books for children. The detail of ancient China shown in this book is amazing. And of course the story is as captivating and warm as any book for children ever written. At Morningside Books if a book will not be great, it will not be published. Emphasis is placed on laughter, charm and a bit of adventure in every title from Morningside books.

The term realistic fiction books for children may seem a bit of a conflict. How can fiction be real? They can when they are published by Morningside Books. Morningside authors and illustrators place incredible attention to detail as they create books like “Alligators can’t Stand Butterflies.” All of the animals, flowers and plants in this book are drawn correctly. This doesn’t stop them from interacting hilariously within the confines of their setting. In this case, they all live at The St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, hidden away in a wild untamed section of the Florida coastline.
