"Take all the words available in the human vocabulary and read them from the dictionary, and you have only a list of words.  But with the creativity and imagination God has given human beings, let these words flow together in the right order and they give wings to the spirit.  Every child ought to know the pleasure of words so well chosen that they awaken sensibility, great emotions, and understanding of truth.  This is the magic of words." -Gladys, Hunt, from Honey for a Child's Heart.

Books are such great gifts we give our children.  They really do open up worlds otherwise inaccessible to them.  The links above contain lists of books I have compiled over the past few years, and are by no means comprehensive.  They are recommendations, and favorites I have found on my own.  These lists will hopefully keep expanding over the years as I, as well as my kids, discover more literary treasures.

I highly reccomend "Honey for a Child's Heart" by Gladys Hunt for a good read on the importance of literature in kids' education, and also an excellent list of suggested reading for babies up to high school students.
