Here’s a suggestion for the Children’s book section:

The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name

Here’s the amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0310708257?tag=organicchur0e-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0310708257&adid=04ZP5ZXX2ERWR4RBXB5G&

And I blogged on it here if anyone is interested: http://thetensionishere.wordpress.com/2007/09/13/the-jesus-storybook-bible-every-story-whispers-his-name/

GREAT book.

Here are some of my life-savers and best of's ...

Your Child's Growing Mind by Jane Healy

Caring For Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5 by the American Academy of Pediatricians (I loved this book because it presented such a broad range of anticipated behaviors for every stage and did not espouse a particular school of thought so I was free to parent my children as I saw fit.)

Parenting With Love and Logic by Foster Cline (note, I have only read Parenting Teens With Love and Logic, so I can't vouch for the younger years, but I've appreciated their approach)
