I have a wide range of child-tested book lists created
during my 30 years as a children's librarian.
With so many books out there, finding the right book can
be an overwhelming experience. I can help you sort through
the thousands of books produced every year to find the right
ones for your specific needs. I'd be happy to create a
customized book list for you. Here are some ideas:
Books to read aloud
Not all books are meant to be read aloud. Good
read-aloud books have the right vocabulary, the right
cadence and are able to sustain the interest of the
audience. Most important of all, the reader must really
enjoy the story.
Books for problem
solving
The right book can help a child confront a problem they
might be having, from anger, to stealing, to fear, to
nightmares or just making friends.
Books by subject
Does your child have a favorite subject? Need help
finding good books on Inuits, dinosaurs or jokes?
