Storyteller's Choice booklists are named in memory of Phil A. Petitt. 

Phil Petitt was a great storyteller as well as a man of indomitable spirit whose love of life was felt by all who knew him.  This collection of booklists is dedicated to his grandchildren.

The Petitt lists as they are fondly referred to in the children's room, are a frequent go-to for solid book suggestions.  Created over the years by Darien Library children's staff, they contain books of all types: fiction, adventure, non-fiction, fantasy, classics!

Best Books for Infants and Toddlers

Best Books for 3 and 4 Year Olds

Best Books for 5 and 6 Year Olds

Best Books for 7 and 8 Year Olds

Best Books for 9 and 10 Year Olds

Petitt lists are updated on a rotating basis.  Do you have a "hidden find" book?  Do you have a book that some people know about and say "oh yeah" when mentioned, but it's not as well known as Goodnight Moon?  Please share!
