Source: Parents' Choice Foundation In researching this exceedingly difficult assignment, our friends at Parents' Choice Foundation went first to their in-house library – a twenty-five year archive – and compiled a list of titles selected, throughout those years, by parents, grandparents, librarians, educators and many, many children. The Parents’ Choice “Best 25 of 25” Book Committee, comprised of parents, teachers, librarians and critics, then reviewed and reevaluated the selections, honed the list again, and again, and came up with what they believe are very fine choices. When making the final selections, they looked for a balance of humor, history, character and ethics. They had to divide the list into two age groups – infant through age nine, and ages 10 and up. Best 25 Books for Infant through 9 Years My Very First Mother Goose Chicka Chicka Boom Boom The Three Little Pigs Olivia Captain Snap and the Children of Vinegar Lane Anno’s Italy Doctor DeSoto Julius, the Baby of the World Not So Fast, Songololo Rumpelstilskin Tar Beach The People Could Fly: American Black Folktales The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales The Stories Julian Tells Jerusalem, Shining Still Beat the Story-Drum, Pum-Pum Little Red Riding Hood Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters The Polar Express A Chair for My Mother Hey Willy, See the Pyramids In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson Ramona Quimby, Age 8 |
