Why this book list? In a market where there are thousands of titles for children, available on line, in bookstores and libraries, how does a parent choose books that have nourishing content, artistic excellence and an enduring reputation for delighting children? One Thousand and One Wonderful Books provides lists of childrens' books, arranged by age and topic, with comments on top choices by both authors. Also included are the Newberry and Caldecott winning books, as well as some recommendations on parenting books.
