It's good to have a book... wherever you may be!
“When you sell a man a book you don’t sell just 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue – you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humor and ships at sea by night – there’s all heaven and earth in a book, a real book.” -Christopher Morley, writer
Recommendations:
(a wide variety of age/grade ranges)
Although the lists do range generally from young to older ages in content, I purposefully did not assign specific age or grade levels because each child is unique, with varying interests and reading skills.
This page is a current work in progress and will continually be expanded to reflect new, very carefully selected recommendations and seasonal choices. A select few parenting books will be added as well. Books have already been linked directly to Amazon for your convenience in reading reviews, determining suitability for your own child, and purchase.
