parents who want their children to love reading (christian is a plus)
This book was very uplifting and refreshing. The beginning includes some chapters that tell how important reading is. A lot of the book does speak of the Bible and other Christian things. I really loved it and enjoyed every bit of it. The last part called the "bibliography" includes the lists for children of different ages and different kinds of books.

This book is pretty straight ahead. I glanced through the intro chapters, but spent a considerable amount of time reading through the recommended reviews.

Loved this book- I am going to buy my own copy. I have searched for other "recommended booklists" on the web, but this is the most comprehensive one I've found that shares my beliefs and perspectives. I do believe the author is a bit of a "purist"- I mean, who can avoid introducing their 2-3 year old to an age appropriate Pooh book instead of waiting until they can understand the original stories? But if you can overlook those opinions, the booklists are great and we've al...more

I bought this strictly for the reading list at the back of the book. I had no expectation for the actual text of the book. This book has surprised me in every way!

This book reviews children's stories and segregates them by appropriate age. It also talks about giving the gift of reading to your child. I have given it as a baby shower gift several times since I first received it. It is a must for every reading parent!

I really enjoyed this book. It really made me motivated to read with my children more and instill in them a love of books! It had a great book list in the back of great books and some of the classic children's books I grew up with. I am excited to read some of the classics with my kids! I think this would make a great addition to any family library!

The instructional and inspiring chapters in this book will lead you to great reading material for your children. In her words, we are trying to get rid of "twaddle" in our home and only offer our child the best of reads, great art, wonderful and imaginative text and books that desire to be read again and again.

I refer to this book often especially if i'm heading to the library and don't know what to check out for the kids. This gives you book lists by age! Very helpful.

A way for parents to find the best books for their children. It has great reading lists. I liked it because of its purer slant on reading.
