Best Classic Children’s Books of all Times picked by Oma

Oma has a selection of the Best Classic Children’s Books of all time. Some of these books are available in both English and German, which encourages learning two languages. The stories are familiar and known without understanding every word of the second language.

Why reading Best Classic Children’s Books?

When choosing the Best Classic Children’s Books, I wanted to make sure that old stories and fairy tales, engaging generations before us, do not get lost in the fast-paced, competitive world of today.

The old classic stories teach the values, traditions, culture, and ethics we all need to know and try to live. These are all necessary skills that make us better understand others’ needs and help us develop emotional intelligence.
Children learn to listen and to use their imagination to translate the text into a vision. The fantasy of children is unlimited.

What do children learn from reading?

Children learn to listen and to use their imagination to translate the text into a vision. The fantasy of children is unlimited.

The Best Classic Children’s Books also include books in English or German, some newer stories. I chose these books based on the experiences I had with my children, who grew up being bilingual. Other books I decided based on the reactions of my grandchildren.

My children and my grandchildren had one thing in common. They all loved sitting on a lap, snuggling up, and asking questions while listening to a story. A computer or an I-pad cannot create this kind of atmosphere, the closeness of another person. A modern gadget cannot replace a mother, father, grandparent, aunt, and uncle.

The Classic Children Books are treasures that should be part of everyone’s childhood memories.
