Core Collection for Small Libraries: An Annotated Bibliography of Books for Children and Young Adults

Core Collection has been a tremendous addition to my personal/professional library. As a college student majoring in elementary education, this book proved to be an invaluable resource for my classes. I am convinced it will do the same as I begin my professional career. The authors have made searching for age-appropriate, subject-appropriate classroom titles as easy as pulling a book off a shelf. Well-written summaries, classroom/values applications and thorough citations make Core Collection for Small Libraries an essential addition to the library of any teacher, parent or student. Highly recommended!

There are so many children's books on the market today that it is difficult to know where to begin when looking for books dealing with particular subjects. This is an excellent resource to help you find just the right book to incorporate into your lessons. The authors have reviewed many books, summarized them, and brought out different values and subjects that can be taught using each one. It is very helpful for anyone who works with children.
