Reading lists necessary?
Should I just read any book or should there be certain books I must read to my 4 year old, have my 7 & 8 year old to read? I don't want to teach my kids stuff that contradicts the Bible, by reading books like that to them (my 8 year old loves Dinosaurs). Or am I being too protective?
I think any book is fine. About an "Index*" style of list, I don't think that's okay, either. I mean, talk about your beliefs and why the book is/isn't true, but hiding information leads to discontent and an unwillingness to believe. You have to go in with an open heart and be forthcoming.
*The Index is the banned book list for Catholics. It's not very popular anymore but was up through the middle of the century.

There are many great suggestions from Sonlight, Well Trained Mind, etc. for this age. Check out their sites. I have combined about a dozen such lists into a single website you can search by age, etc, that may help you as well. See the link in my signature.
