Books to Share with your Grandchildren

An important part of being a grandparent is reading with or telling stories to your Grandchildren.
See Grandma Susie .
But what kind of stories?
1. The Bible is always our top priority.  Great stories from the greatest book will interest them if they are told well, or if you read out of your own very special Book that they see you reading out of all the time.
Even a newborn can be read to, and what better sounds are there for a baby to hear than the Word of God?
2. For the young ones, choose picture books with cute, cuddly, lovable pictures.  The world will try to get them to love ugly soon enough.  But sin produces ugliness; God created innocence and beauty. Let's try not to destroy that childhood innocence.
3. Choose books that will lead to interesting discussions, and be prepared to make those discussions count.
4. Always choose stories where the good guys are the heroes, and the heroes are worth emulating, because it is a child's nature to copy their heroes.
5. Find fascinating books on creation science, and make sure you are as excited about the content as you want them to be.
6. Get them interested in good biographies of real people.  They will listen to the stories long before they are old enough to read them, as I have seen and experienced first hand.

This is a brief summary of the types of books I want us to look at. Lord willing, I plan on doing a book suggestion every two week if I can.  If you have a favorite book that you would like to share with us, please let me know.
