Children's Books are for Parents, Too
Any good children's books will speak to many audiences, not just the very young. The best children's books have a message for children and a message for parents. Whether it is reminding them not to worry or helping them through a difficult topic, children's books are a fun tool in a parent's toolbox.
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
This children's story is a great for reminding parents that your child might be in midst of a terrible day. So when your child hits his brother or knocks over the milk, it might seem like it came out of nowhere, but it might be because of the terrible day they are having.
A Day's Work by Eve Bunting
A Day's Work features a grandfather and grandson who are looking for day labor. When they do a job incorrectly, the grandson learns that honesty is important. Beyond an important moral lesson, this book reminds parents (and grandparents) that children are looking to them to show them the right way.
There's No Such Thing as a Dragon
This story shows a little boy named Billy who awakens to find a small dragon in his bedroom. He tells his parents but no one will believe him. The more the adults ignore the dragon, the bigger he gets. This story is a great reminder to parents that problems left ignored can get out of hand.

Earlier I Hubbed a series of weekly episodes on self-publishing, resulting in our first Children's Picture Story book, "Pop Pop's Magic Chair". It's a story which early on involved my grandson into reading. It not only rewarded him, I had the privilege of the experience for 6 years till he began to read ny himself. "He" is now in College and an avid reader of Good Literature. I'm not sure which of us got the greater reward. For me it was a wonderfully warm and loving experience, to be remembered. David Russell

Classics! I think that "No Such Thing as a Dragon" was even around when I was a kid. Read all your recommendations to my kids, except I never heard of Fritz & Christine. Voted Up.
