Each entry lists the title, author, publication date, price, ISBN, page count, and a one-sentence summary. Review citations for the listed books draw upon six respected publications—Booklist, Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, Horn Book, Horn Book Guide, Library Media Connection, and School Library Journal— these citations direct the librarian toward a more detailed discussion and evaluation of the title in question. An easy-to-use reference, sorted by book category and featuring a comprehensive index, Best Books for Children Preschool through Grade 6 is a helpful and enthusiastically recommended tool for children’s librarians everywhere.”—Reviewer’s Bookwatch, March 2006 “Along with their siblings, Best Books for Middle School and Junior High Readers, Grades 6–9 and Best Books for High School Readers, Grades 9–12, these titles are essential resources for school and public libraries.”— |
