The latest addition to the Best Books family, this all-new guide updates the popular and critically acclaimed Best Books for Children, Seventh Edition.

The entries cover more than 6,000 titles published from 2001 to 2003. Adds two years to the seventh edition, beginning with April 2001. Following the practices of the main work, the supplement provides recommendations on 6,100 books, drawing on professional review sources familiar to librarians. Brief annotations, ISBNs, book length, price, grade level, and review sources give good selection assistance. Entries are in sections on literature, biography, arts and language, history and geography, social institutions, issues, personal development, physical and applied sciences, and recreation. 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
