Finding Age-Appropriate Books for Your Kids

How can you get information about what content is actually inside the latest best seller your child is reading and whether it is appropriate for him or her? One great resource is the book review section of the Common Sense Media website. This website gives you the ability to search books by title, or you can browse suggested titles by age group. When you click on a selection, the book is rated on eight different categories such as: educational value, positive messages, language and violence. The full details area includes a section called "What Families Can Talk About." The web site also offers "handpicked alternatives" to your search. You can even sign up for weekly emails with book recommendations.
