Introduction


Reading to and reading with children can help them learn
responsible behavior. Finding good books, however, requires
time and thought. Librarians and teachers can offer valuable
assistance.

This section is divided into three lists: Beginning (ages
1-6); Intermediate (ages 6-9); and Advanced (ages 9 and up).
The age levels overlap and are only rough guides. Please note
that some entries have annotations identifying specific habits
of character such as courage, self-control, and responsibility.

Art and music also can enrich the lives of parents and
children. Parents and children can enjoy the illustrations in
many of the books listed here. They can find inspiration in the
music on carefully chosen records, tapes, and CDs. Audio
recordings of the spoken word also can fascinate children and
include many dramatic readings, fairy tales, and even whimsy.
Magazines, encyclopedias, and a few movies are recommended as
well. Films can supplement lessons about responsibility found
in the many books listed below.
