Page Two THe NBW BeRN MIRROR, NBW BERN, N. C. Friday. SepttMnber 30, 1966 I Since more than a thousand new books are published for children each year. New Bern parents may be In a quandary when making a choice for their own small fry. Experts suggest several rules to go by. Who Is the author, ^at else has he or she written, and what are the au thor's qualifications? What Is the purpose of the book? Is It Inspirational, Informational, or practical? How well does the book fulfill this purpose? What Is the subject of the book? Is It within your child's comprdiension? Is It true to life? How does It compare wldi other books on the same subject? Do children like It? Do the characters seem real? Is the style of writing dis tinctive, commonplace, or grammatical? Is It Involved or oversimplified? Is the format satisfactory In cover, binding, size, type, spacing and mar gins? Are the Illustrations ade quate In line, color and Imagination?

Is there an Index and a bibliography? Has it lasting value because of content, style and format? The book you are considering buying probably won't have a perfect score In all these categories, but each should be evaluated. It may surprise you, as It did us, to discover that very few books were written ex pressly for children prior to the past century. The few that were available weren't enter taining from a child's point of view. They sought to teach youngsters what they dioulddo and what they should be lieve. Before you contradict us, re member that books like Robin son Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels and Rip Van Winkle were written for adults rather than Juveniles. It turned out, of course, that they appealed to Juveniles, but the authors didn't plan It that way. Don't purchase Just any book for your child. Consider the ones available, and select die best.
