The Bookcase offers descriptions of read-aloud storybooks with family involvement themes. Family involvement is defined broadly here as families engaging in activities at home, at school, or in the community, with the purpose of supporting children's school education or more general learning. The Bookcase currently focuses on children's picture books, both fiction and narrative nonfiction, written for children from about 4 to 8 years old. Only recent books are included, published through 2002. Compiled by Elaine Hou for the Family Involvement Storybook Corner on the Harvard Family Research Project website.  Access it online at:
