We have not found a better book to inspire parents to enjoy great children's literature with their children. This book is a treasure in two senses:

1. It forcefully presents the case for reading great books often with your children and
2. It supplies a substantial book list (half of the book!) as a starting place.

Gladys Hunt provides great wisdom on how to select books, how to incorporate them into family life, and why literature can and should play a profound role in the life of a family. If you're wondering what role books should play in your family, there is no better place to start.
