Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their kids read. 3. Brainstorm books you read as a child and consider whether they are appropriate for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to give you a list of books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King prizes. 6.
