Here are a few recommendations to help you determine the children's books and picture books that are learning-oriented as well as enjoyable.
1. Think about the types of books or subjects your child has been drawn to in the past as well as the kinds of characters, situations and topics he or she might relate to or find interesting. 2. Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their children read. 3. Brainstorm books you read as a child and consider whether they are compelling for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to suggest books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King awards. 6. Vary your selection and try different genres to hold your child's interest. 7. Make sure that the stories and illustrations present different issues in positive ways..
