Childrens books can be used to teach these skills and others in the areas of language arts, science, history, art, mathematics, geography, social studies, foreign language, health and psychology.  What can’t they do?  Childrens books can’t do a thing if they’re sitting on a bookstore shelf!  Donate childrens books to children who might otherwise not get them.  Hold a drive in your community or at school to help those in need, and always choose a childrens book to donate along with a toy before the holiday season!
