WHAT TO READ WHEN mirrors the cycle of childhood—the occasions big and small that offer opportunities for parents to bond most with their children. Allyn's advice is essential because she helps us to take into account a child's age, attention ability, gender, and interests as we choose among the hundreds of wonderful books to read. Pam celebrates the capacity of children's literature to enlighten, entertain, and inform. Her goal is to make it easier for children to have transforming moments with books by helping parents and educators find and read with them just the right books at just the right times. WHAT TO READ WHEN is a must-have guidebook for creating and sustaining a lifelong love of reading.
