When building up a book collection for children it is important to include a broad range of high-quality fiction and information texts. The fictional picture books should include classic stories, traditional tales and rhythmic and rhyming texts.
These will captivate young children and help them to develop positive attitudes to reading and see books as exciting, interesting and fun. But practitioners also need to consider the use of quality texts to explore important issues in young children's lives.
Such issues include common events such as the birth of a new baby, sibling rivalry, moving to a new home or school or visiting relatives at home or overseas.
