Tips for Selecting Books

Check the cover. Does the dust jacket catch your eye?

Read the summary on the inside flap. Does the book sound like something you would enjoy?

Read the first page or two.  Do you want to find out what happens next?

Ask the librarian. 

Ask your friends for recommendations.

Think about books that your teachers may have shared. Would you like to reread a favorite?

Read other books written by your favorite authors.

Read about your hobbies or other special interests.

Read variations of your favorite folk and fairy tales.

Read book reviews.  You can find reviews written by other kids on sites like The Spaghetti Book Club or Slime Kids.
