It's back and it's better than ever, chock full of everything a children's librarian needs for reader's advisory and collection building. A to Zoo: Subject Access to Children's Picture Books, Eighth Edition is the latest version of the guide that has become the standard resource for up-to-date information on fiction and nonfiction picture books for children.
This must-have volume provides thorough subject access to children's picture books, covering some 12,000-15,000 titles. The eighth edition has been carefully revised, focusing on the period from 2000-2009, plus classic titles and popular earlier titles from well-known authors and illustrators, including award winners. With this new edition, librarians can easily find books to fit themed story times, programs, and curricular units; to help identify titles for gaps in the collection; and to create topical booklists. And, of course, this volume is perfect for helping parents, children, and teachers find books for specific needs. As with past editions, this volume consists of a subject guide, a bibliographic guide, and title and illustrator indexes.
