A great little book full of age appropriate book lists to encourage a love of reading in young children and as a family. I found that the book list contained a lot of American titles which is fine, but a local equivalent or a more universal list would have been helpful. ( )

I love this guide for a reading list!

Honey for a Child’s Heart is a lovely book that emphasizes the importance of reading for children and families. The first section reviews why reading is essential and how to go about making books a daily part of family life. The second section is a series of book lists for various ages, genres, and occasions. There are several other books in the series including Honey for a Teen's Heart and Honey for a Woman's Heart. Be aware that while this book is wonderfully wise, friendly, and nonjudgmental, it was written by a Christian author is intended for that audience. Its content, philosophy, and encouraging advice, though, would be helpful to any reader interested in children’s literature, parenting, and family development. ( )

Gladys Hunt includes a comprehensive explanation of why we should read to our children and why they should read read read! In a world where books are being replaced by technology, it's so important that we conciously choose to expose our children to literature.

This books lists hundreds of high quality literature for children. The author also makes sure to note if and when there is any objectionable content in a book to prepare the parent and avoid any unpleasant surprises.

When you're at a loss of what to choose from millions of possible titles, "Honey For a Child's Heart" is a valuable resource to narrow down the list to worthwhile reads. ( )
