Experts believe the popular ones carry a rewarding message that will stay with your child for the future, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine.

Following are a few recommendations to help you determine the children's books and picture books that are learning-oriented as well as fun.
1. Understand the classes of books or subjects your child has enjoyed in the past as well as the kinds of characters, situations and topics he or she might relate to or find valuable. 2. 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 right for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to recommend books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King recommendations. 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..
