Librarian's helper

I bought this looking for another reference to pick books for kids. I also use this to help teachers. It is a good partner with Jim Treleases read-aloud book & updates.
Book Crush reads like a novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought Book Crush for my 14 year old daughter after reading Book Lust in the library, and she carried it around with her and read it cover to cover like a novel. Of course, she is an avid reader, and you may not get this response from all kids, but eager readers will find it fascinating.

Parents, grandparents, doting aunt's will discover a bounty of books to purchase or suggest to the children in your life. Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl tells about her favorite books from childhood and today with contagious enthusiasm. Every school and public library should have a copy at hand.

I'm always looking for good information on books for my granddaughters...Book Crush: for kids and teens is the best I've seen.
So many great books!

I've only read the chapter for the youngest readers. It is full of worthwhile books, and I think the categorization is very helpful. I'm sure everyone who reads this book will have his/her own favorite books that didn't get included in Pearl's long list, but still, the omission of Nancy Tafuri is inexplicable.
