One of my favorite children's book is The Wretched Stone by Chris Van Allsburg. What I love about this book is that it blatantly and creatively stressing the importance of literacy;reading, writing and speaking while subtly showing the negative impact of too much visual media such at television. The illustrations in the book are vibrant and beautiful and help to draw the reader into the world created by the author. The learn more visit:
