About the Book
"The book is meant as an extension to the previous work, The big book of children's reading lists (2006)."
Book Synopsis
Created in consultation with teachers and public librarians, this fantastic collection of 101 ready-to-use book lists provides invaluable help for any educator who plans activities for children that involve using literature.
Nancy J. Keane is the author of the award-winning website Booktalks--Quick and Simple (nancykeane.com/booktalks), as well as the creator of the open collaboration wiki ATN Book Lists. With 101 Great, Ready-to-Use Book Lists for Children, she provides another indispensable resource for librarians and teachers.
The lists in this book are the result of careful consultation with teachers and public librarians, and from discussions on professional email lists. These indispensable reading lists can be used in many ways--for example, as handouts to teachers as suggested reading, to create book displays, or as display posters in the library. This collection will help educators support the extended reading demands of today's children.
Review Quotes
"This looks to be a very useful book that will be heavily used because it has the ability to save librarians and educators hours of creating book lists. It is definitely recommended to both school and public librarians and to teachers. Reading teachers will find it especially useful as it lists both grade levels and lexiles." --ARBA
"Keane uses her vast knowledge of children's literature to create book lists for children K-8th grade. . . . The easily reproducible lists will be useful for curriculum and collection development as well as for interesting book displays. . . . A great resource to have when an entire class needs a book on a specific topic." --School Library Journal
