![]() ![]() I trust anything that is published by Bethlehem Books and Ignatius Press. I have relied heavily on Catholic bookshops and publishers that I trust - especially for the books for older children and young adults. ![]() I have not read many of the books on the list. I have compiled the list from various sources, including some books that I have. Many times I have found reviews written by Catholic homeschooling mothers who point out exactly what I want to know about the books I'm going to hand to my children (or NOT, as the case often turns out to be). Whenever someone recommends a book to me, I go straight to Amazon and read the one and two star reviews. I am also alarmed by the fact that too many parents do not have a clue about what their children are reading. I am distressed by the books that young children are required to read in schools. Much of the content of children's literature these days is filled with what I call poison for their young and impressionable minds. I believe wholeheartedly, with Michael D O'Brien, author of " A Landscape With Dragons", when he calls the children's literature scene a battle for our children's minds. ![]() I have a keen interest in children's literature. I am a homeschooling mother of four children. ![]() (Catholic Online) - I am not a teacher by profession and neither am I an expert on children's literature.
