Primary school students in the second grade are in a critical period of intellectual enlightenment, and it is especially important to choose suitable extracurricular reading materials for them. These books should be fun, entertaining, and help children broaden their horizons and develop good reading habits. Here are some of the extracurricular books that I have carefully selected for 2nd graders, which I believe will bring rich nutrition to the children's growth.
1.Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales is a classic of Danish fairy tale master Hans Christian Andersen, in which stories such as The Ugly Duckling, The Little Mermaid and The Little Match Girl are both fantastical and convey positive values such as friendship, courage and love. These stories will stimulate children's imagination and lead them to the right moral values.
2."Grimm's Fairy Tales" is the masterpiece of the German Chinese linguists The Brothers Grimm, which includes popular stories such as "Snow White", "Cinderella" and "Little Red Riding Hood". These stories are concise and lively, which not only makes children feel interesting, but also allows them to understand the good qualities of honesty, courage and kindness in reading.
3.Aesop's Fables is a classic work by the ancient Greek fablemaster Aesop, with stories such as "The Farmer and the Serpent", "The Crow Drinking" and "The Wolf Comes". These stories feature animals as the main characters, and through vivid and interesting storylines, children are guided to understand the truth and wisdom of life, and improve their observation and judgment.
4."The Little Prince" is a masterpiece by French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which tells the fantastical adventure of a young prince from an alien planet on his journey to find friendship and truth. Rich in philosophy and life wisdom, this story helps children understand what it means to be human and grow up, while teaching them to cherish friendships and develop a sense of responsibility and compassion.

6."100,000 Whys" is a masterpiece by the famous Chinese popular science writer Ye Yonglie, which stimulates children's curiosity and desire for knowledge by answering various questions they encounter in their daily lives. The answers to these questions are both scientific and interesting, which helps to expand children's knowledge horizons and cultivate their scientific thinking and innovation ability.
7.Ancient Chinese Myths and Stories is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, including classic myths and stories such as Nuwa mending the sky, Kuafu chasing the sun, and Jingwei reclamation. These stories are full of magic and convey the cultural messages and values of early human beings.

Summary: When selecting suitable extracurricular books for second-grade primary school students, we should pay attention to the interesting, informative, educational and easy-to-read nature of the books. By reading these excellent books, children can not only expand their knowledge horizons, develop their interest in reading and good habits, but also lay a solid foundation for future learning and growth.
Good books are like wise men on the road of life guiding you in the direction of your way, planting them in books to find answers, find quiet, and find their own guides.
When your child asks you questions, show them this set of books, so that they can gain more good knowledge and know a lot of truths that we may not know.
