100 books for young readers

This year's list of good reads in China focuses on 'artistic and scientific' value. Mei Jia reports.

The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television recommended 100 books to children and young adults last month, in an effort to encourage reading in China.

The books fall into four categories - morality and humanity, science and encyclopedia, picture books and early reads, and literature. The selection was made from about 1,300 titles.
