Here is a list of my book recommendations … if you are going to include some of these
books for children to self-select it is important to remember that the books should be
placed on a shelf that children can easily reach. A great idea would be to create a comfy
reading area with a few books in a basket or a crate. Books should also be rotated (which
means removing books and replacing them with different ones). Books should also be
checked frequently for any missing or torn pages.
