Two of America's leading experts on children's books present a unique, definitive, and entertaining guide to quality children's reading--a user-friendly analysis of more than 2,000 books for children from birth to age thirteen.
Valerie and I worked over three years on this project, reading and considering over 10,000 books and came up with a listing of some 2,000+ books we love. Parents, educators, social workers, writers, grandparents, or anyone else with a child in their life, will find this book full of information on ways to use books with children, as well as lists of books for all ages. Our subject index is nearly 1,000 items long, so if you want to find a book on courage, or cats, or weather, look in the index and you'll find it. We wrote this because we felt there was a need for an accessible guide for adults to the sometimes bewildering world of choosing a book for a child, and think the book will work for those who know almost nothing about the subject and for those who are deeply involved with children and books. Have fun reading it--we sure had fun writing it!
