Recommended Children's Book List

Children's Books
     Children's books can be used to introduce new topics and terms, and to reinforce learning about health and safety.  Content may be specific to a topic, such as healthy eating or disease prevention.  General story books, including many classic stories, can be used to introduce or reinforce health topics.  This book list includes those identified as age appropriate (young children), culturally sensitive, diverse, and free of stereotypical language.
