A methodical offering of all the books one could read.

Calling all bookworms, parents, teachers and those who are about to step into the wonderful world of books.
The Puffin good reading guide for children is a treasure trove. Apart from an introduction by Ruskin Bond and his list of favourite books, the book offers a methodical offering of all the books one could read. The highlight is its attitude to reading. It dismisses the popular myth that one should read only classics and ancient ones at that. So the book acts as an eye opener not only for children but also for adults. The reading list is divided for the young adult, the middle readers and the younger readers. And the stories are classified under: humour, growing up, science fiction and fantasy, crime and mystery, historical fiction, adventure, the supernatural and horror, animal stories, school, the state of the world and traditional tales. And the result is a delightful pot pourri that makes reading enjoyable.
