"Concerning Kids" is a set of booklists on various issues all families deal with like: having a new baby in the family, being honest, the death of a pet, cooperation and self-esteem. The lists were compiled by the Children’s Room staff, so all the books on them are in our collection and can be checked out. You can view and print these booklists below. These are in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.  If you need Acrobat Reader, you can get it here.  A printed copy will also be available in the Parenting Collection.
