Books and More for Children and Teens

The Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) has a great new book list : Never Too Old: Picture Books to Share with Older Children and Teens.

The books are grouped into different categories that make me want to run out and gather up piles to read:

Visualize This: Books about the Arts
Notes on a Page: Books about Music
Into the Past: Books about History
Theories and Revelations: Books about Math and Science
Challenges and Change: Stories of Politics, Identity and Understanding
Seriously Surreal: Tales of (Im)possibility
Over-the-Top: Sly and Sophisticated Humor
All Cracked Up: Fractured Fairy Tales and Fables

Those last three categories really speak to me! They are the ones that have me making lists of new books to try. But I love the depth to the lists, making them useful not only to librarians but to teachers as well.

Its great to see lists that are "outside the box" and suggest a different approach to books. Also enjoyed seeing how many we have in our library collection and ideas for purchases to beef up this interesting area.
