For more than a century, the American Library Association has been dedicated to literacy where it must begin - with America's children. This new guide reflects the wide range of today's quality offerings for children, from books, magazines, videos, and music to computer software, science materials, toys, and games. With more than 1,500 entries, ALA Best of the Best for Children has been organized for ease of use, with each section divided according to age and level.
ALA Best of the Best for Children helps parents play an active role in their children's development. Entertaining and enlightening, it brings motivation to kids and helps even the youngest child expand learning and recreational experiences. Here is a book for families to share as they grow together.
The lively, informative text also includes special highlighted topics, such as "Start Dancing - Songs to Wiggle, Walk, and Clap To," and other features on multiculturalism and sex education.
