Well, Astrid Lindgren should be read by all kids everywhere, I think. And Moomin as well, but those are perhaps for a slightly younger audience.


They're probably there. He has several books which we'd deem too "young" for kids of 11. Some of the kids are just less mature, or are behind in their reading skills.

When he discussed Scandinavian books with mom a while ago (she's a a retired teacher, but she still helps kids with their reading, and also reads stories to groups of various ages twice a month), I was under the impression he was speaking of the contemporary offering in translation, though.

Pretty good, but I'd like to see a bit more hard sci-fi in there. HyogaRott - 24/05/2011 01:48:57 PM 734 Views

Some of our Franco-Belgian BDs certainly can stand next to these books. If not too many. Legolas - 24/05/2011 10:49:04 PM 771 Views
You don't know of any French-language books for that age? What about Le Petit Prince? Tom - 24/05/2011 11:59:37 PM 696 Views

I did forget that one, but I tend to think of it more as an ageless book than a children's book. Legolas - 25/05/2011 07:48:09 PM 680 Views

I think most "reading" children will have read those books before age 11. Tom - 24/05/2011 02:22:49 PM 690 Views

As far as unforgiveable omissions go, Lindgren comes to mind, as does Ende. Legolas - 24/05/2011 10:36:49 PM 793 Views
I agree with Tom, I think. Panorphaeon - 25/05/2011 06:45:16 AM 799 Views
I couldn't "make" my 9-year-old read anything he didn't want to Two Wongs - 27/05/2011 03:15:46 PM 783 Views
