I don’t feel loved or cared for when someone disparages or insults my favorite things, and I’m quite sure my children don’t either. If we want to cultivate good taste in our children, then, we can concentrate on increasing their exposure to good and wonderful books. We allow our children to cultivate their own unique literary taste when we place before them a veritable feast of the best books we can find and then let them develop their own relationship with what they read.
