[PW] Children's books with ESL vocabulary content

[David @ Learning-Point]

As a certified teacher and ESL specialist, I would suggest that any 
reading that this person does to her children would benefit all 
involved.  :-)

If you want a list of good books for children, may I suggest: The list 
on The Children's Literature Web Guide, here:
