Written by a children's bookstore owner and a storyteller, this volume offers readers a pep talk and a guide to sharing literature. Lewis and Mayes know their books and their enthusiasm is infectious. More than 2000 entries include paragraph summaries and evaluations of nonfiction and fiction titles for children from birth to adolescence. Arranged by interest and reading levels, the listings are identified by several themes (e.g., folklore, courage, self-respect, fathers and sons). Sidebars spotlight authors and offer observations about libraries, book selection, and similar topics. The selections feature a fine mix of recent offerings and classics. An extensive appendix lists all titles for each category and useful cross-references help to make literary connections; because no page numbers are given, users must also refer to the index. Jim Trelease's The Read-Aloud Handbook (Viking, 1995) and Mary Leonhardt's Keeping Kids Reading (Crown, 1997) devote more space to how the titles should be used, while the focus of Valerie & Walter's guide is the annotations.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
True to the subtitle, the tone is enthusiastic, committed, and informal in this introduction to children's books for parents, teachers, and other interested adults. Valerie owns a children's bookstore; Walter is a storyteller. Together they talk about more than 2,000 books, arranged by age-level from birth to 14. In addition, there are lots of sidebars, quotes, "spotlights" on authors, and commonsense advice about how to get kids to read without preaching about it. The YA section is thin, but the children's selections are excellent, celebratory without being cute, a handy reference even for those who know the books. Shelve this with Betsy Hearne's Choosing Books for Children (1990) and Eden Ross Lipson's New York Times Parent's Guide to the Best Books for Children (1991). --Hazel Rochman
