A good general introduction to adoption - By: Caroline V. Rushmer, 08 May 2008 
I find this book to be a really good introduction to the concept of adoption & why children are adopted. It may not be deep enough for an adopted child, but is ideal as a starting point, or as an introduction to friends & familys' children who are about to have adopted cousins or friends enter their lives. It explains well but without some of the neglect or abuse angles which children from care have experienced, & which some friends & family might feel nervous about revealing to their children. Ideal for age 4-8 or 9.
My New Family - By: Maggie, 05 Jul 2006 An excellent book about adoption - a very easy read for our 4 year old, accessible, not too long, good quality pictures make it easy to adapt to your own situation when reading, good explanation of moving from foster carers to adotive family without being too heavy. Our daughter enjoys going back to the booktime & time again when she feels the need & is trying to make sense of it all. Highly recommended to any new adoptive parents to work through with their child(ren).
