Thread: Book lists

My university publishes a list of choice books that our specialized cooperative children's book center every year. It is created by librarians and contains the newest books that are available and that are of high quality. Unfortunately, to get the newest year's edition, you have to pay $10 if you're not in Wisconsin. But the past editions are available online through this link-- [url]http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/books/choices.asp[/url]. You can find the past editions under the header "Past Editions of CCBC Choices" by clicking on the link "University of Wisconsin Digital Library". They have a lot of great books in there!

Hope this helps! Good luck in your quest.

As a former school librarian, here are some links to start with:

The best resource I ever used was "Titlewave," an online list creator used by Follett. You can narrow searches by publication date, subject, grade/age, awards and reviews, or any combination of the above. Your school/district has to have an account with them to use it, though.
