New Theme: Choosing Good Books for Our Children

Because there are no time machines, because it is not possible to travel to all the countries and cities of this amazing world, and because we cannot personally interview all the important leaders, philosophers, scientists, inventors, and villains that have trampled the earth, we must get most of our knowledge from books.  Through books we are able to travel to various places and meet people we otherwise would not know--and sometimes we even meet characters and creatures that are other-worldly altogether.  But not all books are created equal.  And we must learn to distinguish between the books that are worth our children's time and those that are not.

If children are to love reading and learning we must introduce the best literature to them.  A good book should be filled with not only accurate information and rich characters, but must be written well.  This is what we will be discussing over the next month.  Feel free to add a new post or comment of your thoughts and experiences on what has worked in your home and what hasn't, or simply any thoughts you may have on the subject.  I look forward to an informative and enlightening discussion!
