From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 6-Readers will find a contest to capture every academic interest here. The focus of the book is not on winning, but on the effort, which is viewed as a confidence booster and an opportunity to learn and grow. A short introduction in an upbeat, informative question-and-answer format states this concept and offers suggestions on using the book. Each chapter opens with a brief foreword that describes the type of contests included: "Grand Openings" (arts & humanities), "Headliners" (speeches and essays), "Get Creative" (poetry and fiction), "Send It In" (publishing opportunities), "Quantum Kids" (math, science & technology), "Honor Roll" (academic talent searches and recognition awards), and "Scattered Matters" (miscellaneous and multidisciplinary competitions). Each entry provides detailed information complete with contact names, fax numbers, and Internet addresses, when available. The catchy and appealing annotations for each listing discuss the eligibility restrictions, deadlines, fees, and prizes. Many include sample winning entries to give contestants an idea of what is expected of them. An encouraging and positive guide.

Gr. 4^-6, younger with adult help. In a companion volume to his Ultimate Guide to Student Contests, Grades 7^-12 , Pendleton submits a new roundup of organizations that sponsor student competitions or spotlight student work. Broad topical organization makes the book fairly easy to use: for example, one section lists opportunities for students whose strength is fiction and poetry, another lists outlets for children interested in math or computers, a third is devoted to art, dance, video, and photography. There is also a catchall for subjects ranging from current events to handwriting. Addresses and phone numbers are supplied for sponsors, which include many well-known names--Consumer's Union, Children's Television Workshop, Book It, National PTA. A personal contact, a fax number, and a Web site are included for many. Descriptions of the contests are nicely detailed, including mention of age requirements and prizes awarded. Like the earlier volume, this is a terrific resource that creative and talented children can use on their own or with the help of a grown-up. Stephanie Zvirin
