My kids have learned to read—in fact they love reading. It’s very exciting. But it seems like everything they read is junk! I really want my kids to be exposed to quality children’s literature. There just doesn’t seem to be enough of it out there. Almost everything at the bookstore is either inane or obnoxious. What can I do?
Why, you can grab a tote bag and your kids and GO THE FUCK TO THE LIBRARY, where there are thousands of easy books and readers hand-selected by picky librarians, better children’s nonfiction than you’ll find at any bookstore, and much more.

it has worked for us for years. We have taken our kids to the library and “helped” them pick from several choices plus they could pick something that they wanted. Usually this meant we had 20+ books in our totes. They could learn from the selections what they liked. Also we modeled to our kids by reading from lots of categories. I don’t know the end result of this experiment but now in the kids are in their mid-teens, and they can read far faster than us. We also havent had a TV service since 1998, so we have to choose our entertainment and documentaries.
