Dear Parent, In choosing titles for the Book of the Month, I try to compile a variety of books, old and new, which stimulate, provoke thought, entertain, amuse, or deal with current issues. Many of the titles are award winning novels or written by noted children s authors.
Concerned parents supervise what their children read.
If any title seems questionable for your child, please feel free to call me for clarification or check it out for your own perusal. Sometimes important fictional works deal with controversial social issues or contain language that may be offensive to some. Good literature is supposed to make us evaluate our own way of looking at things and show us ways in which others may view issues about which we feel strongly. Some authors, in an effort to simulate reality, use language or situations that may startle or offend. Please do not hesitate to return any title which is not suited to your child.
