Lists

Sometimes you want a list of titles on a particular subject. Our catalog can help you pull together that list by selecting the 'keep' box next to an item. Yet, we may not have the variety you want. Where else can you get a list of books on a subject?

There is a print resource that is most helpful in providing lists by subject and author.

For teachers, librarians, and parents, this reference of nonfiction and fiction children's picture books has about 28,000 titles in 1,350 subjects to aid in book choice. The volume begins with a subject guide listing books alphabetically by author name, followed by a bibliographic guide by author, with publication information and correlated subjects, and indexes by title and illustrator. Book listings only feature their subjects; they are not described. The introduction outlines the origins of the picture book in the English language. Carolyn and John Lima are former librarians at the San Diego Public Library. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Children's books aren't just for children anymore. Some children's books have amazing illustrations which convey the information from the text. Children's books can usually be read aloud in under 30 minutes.
