Values

Helen’s selection of a few wonderful Books for Young Children that Foster Important Values

Each week, more and more excellent books are being published for young children of every genre.  There is a plethora of excellent children’s literature available making it somewhat challenging for parents to decide which ones to choose. In selecting books for the young child, the criteria I use is to evaluate both the content as well as the art work and illustrations. These should be of excellent quality and ascetically pleasing.
