CHECK IT OUT!
Books recommended for young readers by Ilene Abramson, Senior Librarian of the Children's Literature Department of the Los Angeles Public Library.
Toddler: "Off We Go!" by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Laurel Molk All the little critters in the field can't wait to get to their grandmother's house in this delightful refrain of repetitive sounds.
Preschool to kindergarten: "Wemberly Worried" by Kevin Henkes Humorous tale of the angst and imagined fears of this little tyke as she discovers the joys of school and realizes she has nothing to worry about.
First grade: "Child's Book of Blessings" compiled by Sabrina Dearborn, illustrated by Olwyn Whelan Prayers for all occasions are drawn from religions and countries from around the world and served up with charmingly colorful detailed drawings.
Second grade: "In the Rainfield: Who is the Greatest?" by Isaac Olaleye, illustrated by Ann Grifalconi In this Nigerian folktale dazzling illustrations dramatize the conflicts between Wind, Fire and Rain.
Third grade: "Atlantis: Legend of a Lost City" by Christina Balit Stunning, captivating illustrations bring to life the story of a paradise island that vanished into the sea.
Fourth to fifth grade: "Paul Goble Gallery: Three Native American Stories" by Paul Goble Reprinted in one volume are three previously published "sacred stories" distinctively drawn with the fine details that capture the spirit of living on the Great Plains.
Sixth to seventh grade: "Sir Walter Ralegh and the Quest for El Dorado" by Marc Aronson Extensive research, including a detailed time line, contribute to this outstanding biography of Queen Elizabeth's adventurous courtier.
Eight to ninth grade: "Sitting Bull and his World" by Albert Marrin Drawing on primary sources this well balanced chronicle of the life of the Lakota warrior, emphases the American political and cultural environment of the late 19th Century.
