Primary Focus 2001. These two volumes provide a list of recommended resources published in the last 18 months. Australian authors and publishers make up a large percentage of these lists. The CMIS Evaluation website contains information about books written and published in Australia. Both fiction and nonfiction books are noted in each thematic pathfinder.
Most titles are Australian.
However, check publication details to be sure. Collaboratively produced by the Primary English Teaching Association and the Children's Book Council of Australia, Kid's Best is a compilation of the CBC Notable Book List from 1996 to 2000. This annual Children's Book Council publication lists approximately 100 books considered by the Awards Judges to be the best submitted in each of the Book of the Year Award categories. The judges' annotations for every title provide sufficient information to make sensible choices for your school. All WA schools have been sent information and order forms for CBC Children's Book Week Materials.
