With so many children's and youth books being published, (and such a high percentage of those either mediocre or outright garbage) how is a parent supposed to find worthy and useful titles?
Fortunately, there is help. I probably now own about a dozen books about kids' books, with lists of recommended titles. Of those, you need to own two of them. Both have stood the test of time and are regularly updated. Written from a deliberately Christian perspective, Gladys Hunt's Honey for a Child's Heart, is terrific. The other is The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease. (Don't settle for older, used editions.) I will give you more details on each in future posts.
