When developing a book collection, it is really important to include a broad range of fiction and information texts which will captivate young children and will help them to develop positive attitudes towards themselves as 'readers'.

All of the books which have been included for consideration in this series have high-quality text and illustrations and are often developed by highly regarded, well-known authors and illustrators. A high-quality book collection should include a wide range of texts which will incorporate:

* Classic story books

* Information texts

* Traditional tales

* Rhythmic and rhyming stories

* Books which deal with important themes.
