(09/29/07) From Library Journal This work belongs on the shelf right next to Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook (Penguin, 1985. rev. ed.). Organized by grade level, with each section containing books for easy, average, and challenging reading, it offers a masterful mix of old favorites and newer works. The range of genres represented includes adventure, humor, historical fiction, nonfiction, fantasy, and more. Each entry includes a short annotation, specification of genre, and subject headings. An appendix lists books in a series, while separate indexes cover subject, readability, author, and title. Library media specialists, reading teachers, and parents will find this tool a delight.
