Product Description
Literary affections naturally give way to literary habits. Families who love to read will find the time to read - the distractions of life are simply crowded out .... Such families invariably become inveterate and unapologetic list makers. There are lists of books that must be read. There are lists of books that must be reread. There are lists of books that must be read by others. This book will most certainly appeal to that breed apart. It will sate even the most inveterate of list makers. How appropriate that a mother and her daughter (Elizabeth McCallum and Jane Scott) should have given us such a delectable treat. They have provided a guide to the best of children's literature serviceable for both veteran families and those just beginning their great journey of the imagination. (George Grant, from the foreword)

Once upon a time, a carpenter entered a forest and happened upon a wolf wearing a feathered cap. Quick—whose side are you on? If you don't know, we suggest reading a hearty round of fairytales. Stories provide a roadmap for life. This is because stories are life. But oftentimes it's easiest to understand where we are when we can look through other eyes—from the perspective of someone else, living somewhere else, somewhen else.
For those beginning to read for the first time or those beginning to read again, The Book Tree will drop golden apples in your lap, until you can climb high enough to pick for yourself.
