Your child deserves the best books juvenile literature has to offer. But the flashy world of children's books and clever merchandising can be tough to negotiate. The huge crush of choices can immobilize even the most discerning parents, as well as others with special children in their lives.
And it's not only a question of finding the best kids' books... how do you get your child to actually read and enjoy them?
This website is inspired by the new 10th Anniversary Edition of the critically acclaimed parents' guide The Magic Bookshelf, a book about children's books that has been featured in the Los Angeles Times Book Review, Parenting's Baby Talk magazine and Positive Parenting, a radio show hosted by bestselling author Armin Brott, AKA "Mr Dad." Freshly named The New Magic Bookshelf: Finding Great Books Your Child Will Treasure Forever, this hands-on, practical resource book has been completely revised and updated by its original author.
Books about books abound, but The New Magic Bookshelf remains unique on the parenting market, targeting the ever-growing needs of parents who want to create literate environments in their homes and who need simple, solid, almost guaranteed no-fail kids' book choices to help children find the special books that not only pass time or garner bonus points, but enrich their lives.
Whether there's a new baby in the house, or your child is an enthusiastic but bored reader, or you have a junior "junk book junkie" who's never met a good book she really likes, or even if your child lives far away from you, there's a starting place and a plan here for everyone to get started on the good stuff.
