Back to Top Librarian and Teacher Resources Librarians, teachers, parents, and adults who work with children are often too busy to keep abreast of what is currently popular in children's literature. The sites listed below provide a wealth of relevant information needed when making literature selections for children of all ages. A Guide to Reading Children's Books, including an annotated list of books to read aloud. Broken into age groups, it also includes links for anthologies, sources for parents, benefits of reading, and tips for reading aloud. Carol Hurst's Children's Literature Site Selection of book reviews, organized by sophistication level.
Annotated lists are clickable to link to a review of the title.
Searchable by title, author, or type of book. Salt Lake County Library System Page created by librarians in the Salt Lake County Library system providing a selection of graded book lists. Illustrations are amazing and annotations are written by staff members. Although the books are not described in these lists, they are thorough and represent a multitude of themes. First Chapter Books Produced by folks at the Boulder Public Library, this site provides lists of chapter books geared toward early readers who need something beyond beginning reader books.
