Great Books for Babies and Toddlers: More Than 500 Recommended Books for Your Child’s First Three Years

“The ideal time to begin sharing books with children is during babyhood, even with children as young as six weeks.”
—Starting Out Right
National Research Council

Parents, teachers, and librarians are often puzzled by the seemingly endless choices for reading material for young people. What’s good, what’s trash, what’s going to hold their interest?

The response to Nancy Pearl’s surprise bestseller Book Lust was astounding: the Seattle librarian and winner of the 2004 Women’s National Book Award even became the model for the now-famous Librarian Action Figure.

Once again organized by topic, this sprightly follow-up includes an array of titles in nearly 150 eclectic categories, including Plots for Plotzing (highly unusual storylines), Animal Love (in which humans fall in love with animals), The Autobiographical Gesture
