NOTE: If you want a more thorough list in addition to this, you may want to look for Nathaniel Bluedorn's list and Jan Bloom's list. They are well worth the reading, too.
The lists in the back are very good. I'm certain there are books and authors missing from the lists, but that's why you can go on Amazon and see what is similar. I love how the 9-12 age books are divided into many categories.
I hope there is a "Honey For a Child's Heart 2" to incorporate newer authors!
This is a must-have for parents of young children!
The wisdom and encouragement shared in this book helped me keep reading aloud to my children even though reading aloud can be hard work and time-consuming. My family bonded over wonderful books and reading together has become our happiest memory of our time together. I buy copies of this book to give as gifts to parents of all ages. I highly recommend this book!

She has much experience with her own children, with children in schools and young adults and
college students. She is an avid reader and book critique.
This book I devoured in a few days time.
I have read it through and am rereading it as I choose books for our daughter, my nephews, nieces
and Godchildren.
This is an excellent source. I have recommended it to many friends and will continue to do so!
Many thanks!
Thought it would be more
