As a Libertarian activist on eminent domain and other property rights issues I was pleasantly suprised when I came across The Lost Village of Central Park by Hope Lourie Killcoyne with illustrations by Mary Lee Majno. This is a children's book aimed at 8-12 year olds but it could certainly be read by or to younger children while adults would find the story interesting....
Issues that are demonstrated include the importance of having property rights and standing up for freedom. I do not know if it was intentional on the author's part but I was pleased to see demonstrated the utility of individual gun ownership in defense of freedom versus slavery.
Books for children that encourage an inquiry into property rights and freedom certainly deserve support.
