Children’s Books
Books for children may be divided into two classes. In the first are the books that children really and honestly enjoy; in the second are the books that we adults think they should like. Fortunately the two classes overlap and in this overlapping territory are the eternally good children’s books. Here is a list of ten which are both popular and well written: "Little Black Sambo" by Helen Bannerman. "The Story of Dr. Dolittle" by Hugh Lofting. "The Blue Fairy Book" by Andrew Lang,. "The Wonderful Locomotive" by Cornelia Meigs. Alice in Wonderland" bv Lewis Carroll, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" by Beatrix Potter, "The Picture Book of Ships" by Peter Gimmage. 'Mother Goose." "Just So Stories" bv Rudvard Kipling, and "The Golden Goose" by L. Leslie Brooks. All these books are available at the central library and are highly recommended by the children’s librarians there.
