Reading is key to your child's success in life. I doubt there's anything you can do that will be more essential to your child's future than helping develop, and nurture, a love of reading.

Great books encourage reading. Dismal books do the opposite.

And the sad truth is, there are more uninspiring books in the specialized markets than there are in the general market. Really.

Kids' book publishers figure that specialized books have a guaranteed audience. So sometimes they make these books on the cheap, imagining that buyers - parents particularly - will be undiscerning.

So let's teach them a lesson!
