The Book Tree: A Christian Reference for Children's Literature, 2nd Edition

Literary habits naturally give way to literary affections. Once upon a time, a carpenter entered a forest and happened upon a wolf wearing a feathered cap. Quick whose side are you on? If you don't know, we suggest reading a hearty round of fairytales.

Stories provide a roadmap for life. This is because stories are life. But oftentimes it's easiest to understand where we are when we can look through other eyes -from the perspective of someone else, living somewhere else, somewhen else. The Book Tree is a list of books to explore and try out on your children. This list focuses on books that are well-written, reader friendly, ethical, visually appealing, and accessible.

For those beginning to read for the first time or those beginning to read again, The Book Tree will drop golden apples in your lap, until you can climb high enough to pick for yourself.
