The Best Books for Children | Episode 209
In this episode from our archive, Carole Joy Seid shares the best books for children as you build your home library.
Many families have asked Carole to help them find out how to systematically build a library of books they actually want to keep. The books she shares in this episode are from her own bookshelves. They are the ones you don’t want to let your children leave home without reading.
Without these wonderful books, your children will live in a kind of deprived world!
