 Great suggestions on children's literature June 29, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book is a must-have for parents, teachers, librarians and anyone interested in children's literature. The lists contained within this book cater more to the Pre-K through 6th grade set. There are five sections - section one [books for pre-k through 1st grade], section two [books for grades 2-3], section three [ books for grades 4-6], section four [children's book awards & recommended literature], & section five [children's lit websites & teacher resources]. This is a great tool to provide diverse literary opportunities for children.

My wife suggested this title as a gift basket idea for baby showers or registries. The book is something that parents will use for years. If you're a shopper or gift shop, stock up, too. You can't only not go wrong, it's a map to the loot.

This thick volume would make a perfect companion (or predecessor) to the Literature Lover's Book Of Lists : Serious Trivia for the Bibliophile in the same series (see my review). Though probably intended for teachers and librarians, it will be found equally useful by homeschoolers and other parent/guardian figures searching for enlightenment regarding the "best" books in the vast field of kidlit old and new. Divided into three broad groups (pre-K through Gr. 1, Grs. 2-3, and Grs. 4-6), it breaks its lists down into sensible categories like "classics," author and publisher series, sf and fantasy, books "to teach math/science/social studies," and so forth, then divides many of these lists in turn into brief sublists (2:13, "Multicultural Books," for instance, includes titles for "Across Cultures," "African-American," "Alternative Lifestyles," "Amish," "Appalachian," "Asian," "Hispanic," "Jewish," "Native American," and "Quaker"). Though annotations are given only for the series books, with a brief description of the series focus, the lists alone (which you can easily scan and print off to take to the library or bookstore with you) are a treasure trove for the parent bewildered by the huge variety of books available. Fiction and nonfiction are included, and many great perennials (like "Lassie Come-Home," "Black Beauty," "Tom Sawyer," "Peter Pan," etc.) have found their way into the book along with newer emergents. An index would have been useful, but even without one, this is a volume no parent should fail to consult.
