What is a Good Book?A book doesn’t have to win an award to be considered “good.” It doesn’t have to be a best seller or on a recommended booklist, either. A good book is simply one a child enjoys reading.

How Can You Find Good Books?Libraries, bookstores, and yard sales are filled with books. But how do you know which ones are good? Trust your instincts. Keep your child’s interests and reading level in mind. And use the tips listed in this guide to help you in your search.

What Do Kids Know?A lot. So ask them. Kids can tell you what they like and don’t like, what they want to learn, who they would like to meet, and what they want to do when they grow up. All of these are the subjects of great books. Your children’s input will help you guide them to good books.

Take the Mystery Out of Choosing Good BooksChildren’s reading interests and needs change as they grow. Here are some basic things to look for as you help kids at any age choose good books.

Infants and Toddlers(Birth to Age 2)• Books with big, bright, colorful pictures of familiar objects.

• Durable books made of cardboard, plastic, or washable cloth. These books are usually a good size and shape for small children to handle.

• Books that appeal to their senses, such as fabric books, books with textures, and books with scents.

• Stories told in short, simple sentences with pictures that explain the text.

• Poems and rhymes that are fun for parents to read aloud.

Preschoolers (Ages 3 to 5)• Illustrations and photos that are clear, colorful, and engaging.

• Simple, fun plots. The action should move quickly, so each book can be read in one sitting.

• Lively rhymes and repetition that children can repeat and remember.

• Stories about everyday life and events. The stories should encourage children to ask questions and explore their world.

• Stories that review basic concepts, such as letters, numbers, shapes, and colors.

• Main characters who are your child’s age or slightly older. Playful animals, both real and imaginary, will also hold a child’s attention.
