Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their 'last read. 3. Brainstorm books you read as a child and consider whether they are interesting for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to recommend books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King prizes. 6. Vary your choice and try different genres to hold your child's interest. 7.
