Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their children read. 3. Recall books you read as a child and consider whether they are appropriate for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to suggest books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King commendations. 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..
