Reading is an excellent way to spend time with your child. Reading time can accomplish more than just entertainment, however. One website suggests asking some of these questions when looking for a good book:
Does the book have literary value?
Does the book re-emphasize a Biblical worldview or the Judeo-Christian heritage in some way?
Does the book teach, through whatever means, what is moral or just or true?
Does the book encourage to love and good works?
Does the book exemplify warmth, tenderness, courage, humor, and other values and characteristics that we desire our children to be exposed to?
Does the book nourish the intellect and fire the imagination?
Does the book cross age barriers to be enjoyed by all?
Here are the books this website came up with. Look for some old favorites, or try something new!
