In many parts of the country, August means first days, back packs, new shoes and back-to-school sales. For kids, it means it is time to finish your summer reading list. Back in the day, those reading lists didn't offer many choices if you were looking for multi-cultural children's books. Times have changed and there are excellent books available that represent everyone.
With that in mind, we wanted to pose the question: What are your coices for the best children's book? Leave us a comment and let us know. Here are some of our picks for ages 3-8.
