About this title

Reviews

In the style of Book Links magazine, this is an excellent guide for library-classroom cooperation. For each of 57 books, there's a suggested grade level (preschool through middle school), a plot summary, teaching suggestions, and a list of related books. The layout is clear and attractive, with each book discussion taking up one or two pages. The books are great, from Paula Fox's One-Eyed Cat (1984) to Alexandra Day's Frank and Ernest (1988) to Virginia Hamilton's People Could Fly (1985), and exhibit a range of cultures, genres, and reading levels. Many of the contributors teach children's literature. They don't push for any "right" answer. Their open-ended questions will stimulate discussion and personal response and make kids want to read more. Hazel Rochman
