Reading for the Under-Elevens by Noel Streatfeild and Adrian Seligman
It is not easy for parents to keep abreast of good children's books, and yet, by reading aloud or by helping their children to select wisely from a library, they may be making a considerable contribution to their development.
Noel Streatfeild , author of some of the best-known children's books, including Ballet Shoes and The Circus is Coming, discusses with Adrian Seligman some books and authors she feels she can confidently recommend for children under eleven years of age.
