Customer Reviews:
Wonderful resource for my kids!
November 11, 2008
by Anne
Our family has thoroughly enjoyed the World's Greatest Children's Library. The list of authors is staggering in its scope. My favorite thing is the fact that there isn't just a small sample of their works, there is a huge selection. We have just discovered that we love R. M. Ballantyne's books. There are over 70 of his books in this library!!! We can hardly wait to print up the next one. I love the fact that I can preview such an extensive number of works and choose the ones I know will appeal the most to my kids. I don't have to go out and pay $20 to buy a book to find out if I like the author. I can see dozens of his books on this one disc and find the ones we will love best. My goal is that all of my kids become life long learners. To accomplish this goal, they need to love reading-to become voracious readers. By giving them such quality works, they naturally want more. What a blessing!!! Thank you for a wonderful resource!!!
