I think most of us know the importance of reading to our babies and young children, but did you know that the King County Library System has created book lists for everyone from babies to school-age kids? The Ready To Read lists provide parents with a great resource for their kids. Here are the KCLS Book Lists that are available online:
100 Books Every Child Should Hear Before They Start School
Books for Babies (pre-talkers)
Books for Preschoolers (pre-readers)
The KCLS website also provides tips for reading outloud and for choosing books for your kids.
