When a group of people shares a good story, there can be great pleasure in relating to one another on the basis of that shared experience. Books Every Child Should Know provides a forum for the rehearsal of shared stories. It contains a wide variety of knowledge-based games -- Q & A, fill-in-the-blank trivia, cryptograms, word searches, crossword puzzles, synonym/homonym substitution, and so on -- all drawn from different genres of children's literature, including Mother Goose, Aesop's Fables, cultural myths and folktales, classic literature, and Caldecott and Newbery winners. There are also several short book lists that touch on the high points of these genres.
For families that read a great deal, this book can provide a good opportunity for entertainment based on shared stories, and for classrooms it provides the opportunity to rehearse (and perhaps assess) the knowledge that has been retained through reading them.
