REVIEWS
"Readers should be warned: the book annotations found in Core Collections for Children and Young Adults will make you want to read each and every title that the authors included. The authors provide some excellent descriptive information about each title. Overall, the book is very well organized and easy to read. It provides a solid list of current award-winning titles that are interesting, entertaining, and frequently inspirational."
—Mark Shelton, Harvard University, College and Research Libraries
DESCRIPTION

Every book listed in this reference has a concisely worded annotation, which is followed by headings designating awards the book has won, related subjects, and character themes. With more than 350 titles reviewed, this resource will prove invaluable for teachers, librarians, parents, collectors of children's books, and college students with an interest in juvenile literature, education, or child growth and development.
