The Children's Great Books and Why Kids Should Read Them
New book gives parents the perfect cheat sheet on foundational literature for kidsNEWS PROVIDED BY

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 2021 /Standard Newswire/ -- Parents, teachers, grandparents and family gift-givers all have a new resource when deciding which books their children or students should read when building an excellent foundation for a rich literary experience. BEFORE AUSTEN COMES AESOP: THE CHILDREN'S GREAT BOOKS AND HOW TO EXPERIENCE THEM (Ignatius Press), written by Cheri Blomquist, lays out the roadmap for children and young adults to follow to enjoy the best in literature from Ancient Times through the Middle Ages and modern eras.
Blomquist is a freelance writer and teacher with a degree in English Education and the Bible. She directs the Denim Beret Writing Program through her website, Once Upon a Pen. She also has written courses, articles, poems and stories for The Old Schoolhouse and other magazines.
In composing BEFORE AUSTEN COMES AESOP, Blomquist noticed that too many children today have grown up without experiencing the wonders of Narnia or the adventures of The Iliad or the tales of Robin Hood. Harnessing her 20-plus years of educating, she delivers the ultimate cheat sheet for parents on the foundational books for their children to read from a very young age through high school in order to have the vast knowledge of the best literature in our Western culture.
Acknowledging the changes in children's literature that have occurred since the mid-1960s, BEFORE AUSTEN COMES AESOP also provides helpful information for discerning which contemporary influential books are appropriate, or perhaps inappropriate, for one's children. Blomquist also includes several appendices that are useful for the study of literature at both the elementary and the secondary levels.
"A foundational resource for any educator who wants to give children an expansive imagination, and an easy go-to when looking for the next book to pick up!," said Christy Isinger, co-host of the Fountains of Carrots podcast.
