children's books for use in early literacy classes offered to parents with children younger than five years

Currently four early childhood resource centers located in the Martin Luther King, North Tri-Ethnic,
Southside and Worth Heights community centers offer weekly sessions for parents, grandparents, foster
parents and other caregivers. Later this fall two new resource centers will apes in the east side and

critical thinking skills that they will need on entering kindergarten.
