Suggested Books

These are books that I'd suggest for parents and children. There are lots of them out there so the best idea is to go to your local library or bookstore and see what you find. These are ones I've come across in my wanderings and I hope you'll like them too. For another list of books try http://paganinstitute.org/c-kids_bibliography.html
