Review
"It is a combination of old and new that will give storytimes a boost. This book is recommended for public library professional collections." --Catholic Library World
"Altogether, this volume recommends stories in approximately a thousand current books; it will save story-hunters enormous time and effort ... Freeman's fluent, conversational prose makes [the book] enjoyable to read as well as to consult for practical storytime programming ideas." --American Reference Books Annual
