This guide identifies hundreds of books that can help children
develop into engaged readers. Children's librarians, collection
development specialists in public libraries, as well as K–8
school librarians and teachers will choose from the best in
children's titles. This unique readers' advisory and collection
development guide for librarians and others who work with children
focuses on readers and their needs, rather than simply categorizing
books by their characteristics and features as traditional
literature guides do. Taking this unusual perspective brings forth
powerful new tools and curricular ideas on how to promote the
classics, and how to best engage with young readers and meet their
personal and emotional needs to boost interest and engagement. The
guide identifies seven reader-driven appeals, or themes, that are
essential to successful readers' advisory: awakening new
perspectives; providing models for identity; offering reassurance,
comfort, strength, and confirmation of self-worth; connecting with
others; giving courage to make a change; facilitating acceptance;
and building a disinterested understanding of the world. By
becoming aware of and tapping into these seven themes, librarians
and other educators can help children more deeply connect with
books, thereby increasing the odds of becoming lifelong readers.
The detailed descriptions of each book provide plot summaries as
well as notes on themes, subjects, reading interest levels,
adaptations and alternative formats, translations, and read-alikes.
This informative guide will also aid librarians in collection
development and bibliotherapy services.
