Teachers, Children's Libarians, this is a must have book for your reference!
Whether you only know the author, title, illustrator, or subject this book will assist. There is even a bibliographic guide to detail the subject headings of a book. Easy to use, and the greatest tool for planning theme related book activites for children.
Well worth the investment as it is a never ending resource.

The purpose of this book is to assist teachers, librarians, and parents to select the correct (picture)book for their ideal situation. This resource book would help anyone locate any book which fits their unique need quickly thus saving precious time. By arranging the publication into five parts the books are extremely easy to locate. A valuable resouce which may be used by teachers, librarians, or parents. Adorable illustions are used with each new letter of the alphabet. It is the only comprehensive guide of its kind on picture books. The book contains 18,000 titles catalogued under more that 1,000 subjects.

While this book is a great resource for helping students evaluate and analyze text, I did not get exactly what I was looking for because the title listed on Amazon does not match the book. The title on Amazon says A to Zoo: (Children's and Young Adult Literature Reference), 7th Edition, which is the book I wanted. However, the actual book available is the "Supplement to the 7th Edition". So, I had to go elsewhere to find the 7th edition.

I too heard about what a great resource this was for teachers and couldn't wait to get it! It arrived today and as previously stated - it is only the supplement to the 7th edition. :(

I had bought this book thinking it was the 7th edition not the supplement to the 7th edition, title is misleading. I would recommend using ISBN for future purchases, I will try it this way and see what happens. Book, however, is educational. I prefer the longer edition though.

BUYER BEWARE - this is a supplement to the 7th edition, not the full item as title in search indicates. Mine came in the mail and I was so disappointed I went back and looked to see if I had made a mistake, but I hadn't. The cover of the item is the ONLY place one would see that this is a supplement. Quite misleading!

This book will be very useful in my preschool and childcare programs. The book arrived in very good condition and will be used as a resource book for many years to come.

This book categorizes thousands of children's books (pre-k through 2nd grade) for easy selection of books to meet your needs/interests. Look under almost any topic and find relevant children's picture books. It is particularly helpful for elementary teachers and librarians.
