[Repost] 10 books that boys should not miss

Great! The theme of this study ses­sion is “Chil­dren’s books relat­ed to boys’ growth.” It seems moth­ers of boys have a nat­ur­al advan­tage O(∩_∩)O haha~Orig­i­nal address:10 books boys should­n’t missauthor:Red Mud Study Group
My son has9He is 18 years old and he likes so many books. Due to lim­it­ed space, I can only list some of them here, which are named:9What boys under the age of 18 should not miss10This book.


First place: Jour­ney to the West

Of course it is “Jour­ney to the West”, which is also one of the rare Chi­nese orig­i­nal works among the many books that my son loves. As a Chi­nese moth­er, I nat­u­ral­ly put it first.4I start­ed read­ing Jour­ney to the West at the age of 19 and have been in love with it ever since.3For years, Sun Jingx­iu was cap­ti­vat­ed by his grand­fa­ther’s Jour­ney to the West sto­ries, com­ic books, pic­ture books, car­toons, and every­thing relat­ed to the tale. He had count­less gold­en hoop cud­gels at home, but his most trea­sured was the set of three, each in dif­fer­ent sizes, that could be nest­ed togeth­er, that his father had made for him. It remains his favorite toy to this day.

2. Com­ic Books

There is prob­a­bly no boy in the world who does not love com­ic books. Speak­ing of comics, we must men­tion The Adven­tures of Tintin.5I start­ed watch­ing Tintin when I was 18 years old, and I still do.9Even at the age of 18, he still reg­u­lar­ly takes out this series of books to review, and he has read sev­er­al of them to pieces. In addi­tion to Tintin, his favorite is Lucky Luke, fol­lowed by The Smurfs and Aster­ix.

Third Place: Dahl’s Com­plete Works

My son’s favorite is “Lit­tle George’s Mag­ic Potion”. The first time he came into con­tact with this book was in Run­sheng Gar­den. The inspec­tor read it to the chil­dren. His voice was so life­like, and the old grand­moth­er’s cry came out from his nose.—“George” start­ed our fam­i­ly’s long2The first vic­tims of the year-long “mag­ic potion-mak­ing oper­a­tion” were the expen­sive cos­met­ics I had asked friends to buy from abroad. Then came all the clean­ing agents, var­i­ous grains, med­i­cines, and pow­dered sub­stances he could find. They were all put into var­i­ous bot­tles and jars and stuffed under his bed. As a result, when his aunt was mop­ping the floor in his room, she would often yell and pull out a bot­tle from under the bed that was either cov­ered with big green hair or a black, sticky ball. Lat­er, when he went to school, his home­room teacher was from the UK. He and the teacher would often talk about lit­tle George, and the orig­i­nal­ly seri­ous and gen­tle­man home­room teacher would imme­di­ate­ly become excit­ed and dance with joy when talk­ing about him.5When he was 18, his moth­er also read the book to him. It seems that Dahl has deeply root­ed in the hearts of chil­dren all over the world, both grown up and not yet grown up.

Fourth place: Char­lot­te’s Web

This book helped my son through a dif­fi­cult time. When he start­ed first grade, he was still learn­ing how to inter­act with oth­ers. Being nat­u­ral­ly gen­tle, he strug­gled to cope with dom­i­nant boys. He did­n’t want to lose his friends and become lone­ly, but at the same time, he did­n’t want to be con­trolled by them. It was like the lone­li­ness Wilbur felt before Char­lotte showed up. I remem­ber when I read him the sto­ry of the night Wilbur came to the barn, he tear­ful­ly said to me, “Mom, I’m lone­ly too, just like Wilbur.” Lat­er, when Char­lotte showed up, he asked me, “Does every­one meet a friend like Char­lotte?” I told him, “Yes, every­one meets their own Char­lotte.” He then got a stuffed black spi­der and put it next to his pil­low every night, imi­tat­ing Char­lotte. Now that he has many good friends, I won­der if he still remem­bers this expe­ri­ence.

Fifth place: “The Hap­py Life of Lit­tle Bear Mao­mao”

It can be said that this is the first set of books that my son likes. At that time, he only had3When he was over 20 years old, he would ask me to read this series of books to him after din­ner every day. He still felt that it was not enough, so he would act as the direc­tor and let me act with him as the two lit­tle bears in the book. He nev­er got tired of it.

6. Emil the Young Boy

The first time I lis­tened to it was also in Run­sheng Gar­den, and it was Ajia who read it. After I came back, I con­tin­ued to read the whole book to him. It was such a thick book, and he asked me to read it twice. This was the first big book he lis­tened to.5age.

Sev­enth place:Dav
PilkeyAll works of

Includ­ing the Cap­tain Under­pants series,The Dumb
Bun­nyseries,Mighty
Robotseries andDrag­onEach book in this series will make you laugh out loud.

8. Hal Roger and the Axe Boy

These two sets of books are books that make boys for­get to eat and sleep.14My son fin­ished read­ing this book almost every two days dur­ing the sum­mer vaca­tion when he was in the sec­ond grade.

Ninth place: “Alfred the Field Mouse” and “A Col­or of His
Own》

My son also likes oth­er works of Lion­ni, but he seems to have a spe­cial pref­er­ence for these two and often turns him­self into Alfred to write poems.

10th place: The Light in the Attic

Xie Er’s poems have always been loved by his son. Take a look at this poem he wrote him­self. Does­n’t it have a bit of Uncle Xie’s shad­ow?

I see a naughty boy climb­ing on
a tree.

What do I see?

I see a pret­ty girl play­ing
with a bee.
What do I see?

I see a lit­tle dog catch­ing

The ten places have been used up. In fact, there are many books he loves, such as “Frog and Toad”, “Lit­tle Naughty Nico­la”, “Super Adven­ture”, “George and
Martha”, “Ancient Greek and Roman Mythol­o­gy”, “Frog the Frog”, etc.
