Need a good book to read with your child? PA’s Promise for Children has lots of book lists with books recommended by families, friends, librarians, teachers and more!
Each list is available to print. After printing, take it to your local library and your librarian can help you locate the books on the list. Let your child circle the book on the list as you read them together.
