Synopsis

Featuring contributions by working librarians from around the country, this guide offers a goldmine of quality books for children, spotlighting more than 500 titles published within the last four years.

Popular Picks for Young Readers is equally useful for readers' advisory and collection development, and includes: * High-quality, well-reviewed books that are also popular with kids; * Only original titles, eliminating derivative works such as those based on a movie or liecensed characters; * Picture boooks, graphic novels, poetry, informational books, fiction, and more; * Thorough annotations, with summary, author, and publication information; * Multiple indexes for easy searching by title, author, type of book, genere, award-winners, and subject matter. With selections geared towards every child's interest and reading level, this guide will help librarians, teachers, caregivers and others connect young readers to books they're sure to love.
