Editorial Reviews

Review

“Joanna’s book is clearly written, needed, and—most important—has a friendly layout so that teachers (and parents) are able to find good resources for children. The direct, to the point, way that she’s constructed it will lure an audience to keep thumbing through it.”
—Susan Mandel Glazer, professor of graduate studies, Rider University and past president of the International Reading Association

“Joanna Sullivan has created a wonderful resource for educators who want to enhance the literary development of students in the elementary school. The book lists and resources are well organized and easy to use.”
—Jerry L. Johns, Ph.D., distinguished teaching professor emeritus, Northern Illinois University, and past president of the International Reading Association

“I can’t wait to show this book to my undergraduates! The Children’s Literature Lover’s Book of Lists will be an invaluable resource as they begin their teaching careers.”
—Susan Davis Lenski, professor of education, Illinois State University

“Dr. Sullivan’s professional insights combined with her years of experience teaching and using children’s literature make this book a must-read item for anyone involved with children and books.”
—Mel Cebulash, author, Hot Like the Sun, Willie’s Wonderful Pet, Kid With the Left Hook, and more

4.0 out of 5 stars A great resource, May 23, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Children's Literature Lover's Book of Lists (Paperback)
This thick volume would make a perfect companion (or predecessor) to the Literature Lover's Book Of Lists : Serious Trivia for the Bibliophile in the same series (see my review). Though probably intended for teachers and librarians, it will be found equally useful by homeschoolers and other parent/guardian figures searching for enlightenment regarding the "best" books in the vast field of kidlit old and new. Divided into three broad groups (pre-K through Gr. 1, Grs. 2-3, and Grs. 4-6), it breaks its lists down into sensible categories like "classics," author and publisher series, sf and fantasy, books "to teach math/science/social studies," and so forth, then divides many of these lists in turn into brief sublists (2:13, "Multicultural Books," for instance, includes titles for "Across Cultures," "African-American," "Alternative Lifestyles," "Amish," "Appalachian," "Asian," "Hispanic," "Jewish," "Native American," and "Quaker"). Though annotations are given only for the series books, with a brief description of the series focus, the lists alone (which you can easily scan and print off to take to the library or bookstore with you) are a treasure trove for the parent bewildered by the huge variety of books available. Fiction and nonfiction are included, and many great perennials (like "Lassie Come-Home," "Black Beauty," "Tom Sawyer," "Peter Pan," etc.) have found their way into the book along with newer emergents. An index would have been useful, but even without one, this is a volume no parent should fail to consult.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality reference book for teachers, parents librarians - a map to the loot!, January 2, 2007
This review is from: The Children's Literature Lover's Book of Lists (Paperback)

My wife suggested this title as a gift basket idea for baby showers or registries. The book is something that parents will use for years. If you're a shopper or gift shop, stock up, too. You can't only not go wrong, it's a map to the loot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great suggestions on children's literature, June 29, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Children's Literature Lover's Book of Lists (Paperback)
This book is a must-have for parents, teachers, librarians and anyone interested in children's literature. The lists contained within this book cater more to the Pre-K through 6th grade set. There are five sections - section one [books for pre-k through 1st grade], section two [books for grades 2-3], section three [ books for grades 4-6], section four [children's book awards & recommended literature], & section five [children's lit websites & teacher resources]. This is a great tool to provide diverse literary opportunities for children.
