Holden, my 21 -month -old son, has fallen in love. Its morning snack and “sofa time” include a dose of “Tiger!” This is a small child for “Mom, ignites Daniel Tiger's neighborhood.” It inevitably leaves me singing any jingle that is repeated throughout the episode, all day … “Are you not going to travel with me … advance …”
We are also trying to go to the bathroom, and the “book to go to the bathroom” Holden's favorite (yes, we have a book of books to go to the bathroom) it is about Daniel Tiger having to change the cart to return home to go to the bathroom. Is it literary genius? Hardly. But the jingle is just as sticky: “Do you have to go to the bathroom? Maybe yes. Maybe not. Why don't you feel and try to go”?
Children's books based on toys, television or films of films rarely win official medals or literary awards. And often, librarians and teachers move away from them because there is a perceived lack of literary quality and the feeling that they are only pressing parents to buy more toys.
In some cases, they lack significant stories. And certainly, brands are licensed by books to market their characters and promote the affinity of their brand among children. But Robin Pearson, the former head of publication in the Lego group, makes some excellent points In this blog: “If you give the children the option of what they want to read, many will choose books or magazines about their favorite programs, games, toys or characters. License publication, both books and magazines, can be powerful incentives for children who do not really like to read.”
He would take Pearson's thoughts one step further. I can certainly argue why a child who does not like to read can be more obliged to collect a book with one of his favorite characters. But the books have been part of Holden's life every day since he arrived at the Hospital's house. If there are five books to go to the bathroom available, choose Tiger almost every time. And I say, as long as I am picking up a book, it's a victory!
Amy Pihl, a school library in Salina, Kansas, agrees: “As a librarian who went from public libraries to a school library, I think that in the inherent value of the books with popular license characters. Healing of a love for reading in young students can be challenging as our world becomes increasing immediate.
Reading books about favorite characters can also be an easier introduction in independent reading for children. To start, they already have a context about history and support characters. Some licensed content books repeat stories of television programs episodes; Others expand or tell new stories. License non -fiction books explain more complicated topics such as science or history through the voice of a known and beloved character.
Simply participating in reading practice is fundamental. And we know that if a child selects his own book, they are much more likely to remain committed while reading or read. Ashley Healey says that the students who visit their library in Stratham Memorial School in New Hampshire gravitate towards books like these: “Our books with licensed characters are, with much, some of our most reviewed resources. Even the faces of readers more reluctant to readers, which we see Bluey or Marshall of PAW Patrol. Vocabulary.
It is possible that you have landed in the same character with a popular license, but there are hundreds of a variety of editors, which include:
- Daniel Tiger's neighborhood (PBS Kids), PJ Masks (Disney Junior); Cocomelon (Netflix) by Simon Spotlight, Simon & Schuster's impression
- Denali Molly (PBS KIDS), Roblox (online game), Baby Shark (Pinkfong), My Little Pony (Hasbro), FGTEEV (YouTube); Popular Mmos (YouTube) of Harpercollins

- Sesame Street (several platforms), Crayola; Garfield (several platforms) by Lerner Publishing Group
Dr. Katie HovingReading and English professor at Hampshire High School in Illinois, points out that, similar to licensed characters, students of all ages also connect with the films links: “My daughter went through a phase of more strange things and was obsessed with the program. Therefore, of course, we find books of strange things for her so that she thinks it is because there is something right family character and a story.
Honestly, I don't know if the book to go to Daniel Tiger's bathroom is based on an episode of the program or simply something that producers felt that it would be a good topic for a book. Anyway, you are receiving a lot of love. And this book lover and librarians around the world, I love that.
They would free Amanda Chacon Shares in Her Excitement When A Licensed Character Helps with A Reading Breakthrough: “I've Seen Even The Most Reluctant Readers Light Up When They Discover a Book featuring a family, Licensed Character. Otherwise Feel Overwhelming with Choices.
That is why you will see many of these books available at online book fairs, through suppliers and bookstores, and in a basket next to the bathroom. Because if these characters can facilitate that children are chosen in a book at a time when our nation's grades card still informs that the average reading scores are decreasing, then I am in favor.
