Abstract:
Several years ago I compiled a 'starter' list of books that I had read to children and we had enjoyed together. This year, conscious that many exciting childrens' books have been published recently, I surveyed teachers in ten schools to see which books they chose to read aloud to their classes and which books children read for themselves. The list was compiled in New Zealand but I am sure it will be a 'starter' list for Australian teachers too.
