Books Children Love: A Guide to the Best Children's Literature, Paperback

A love for reading is one of the most precious gifts that we can give children. It nurtures their imagination and creativity, lets them explore other worlds, and opens their minds to new truths and knowledge in appealing, inspiring ways. But how can we sort through thousands of children's books to discover the really worthwhile ones?

Elizabeth Wilson offers us a newly revised, comprehensive guide to the very best in children's literature. Just as in the original volume, she comments on the tone and content of excellently written, captivating books in over two dozen subject areas. Hundreds of new titles have been added while retaining timeless classics and modern favorites-all of which respect traditional values. So that no matter what the children's ages are or whether they love fact or fiction, you can trust these books to share things that you can believe in and kids will delight in.

ELIZABETH LARAWAY WILSON earned a BA and MA in literature and held editorial and college teaching positions before retiring. More importantly she has shared her love for books with her sons and grandchildren, along with countless others, through her popular previous edition of this work.
