A committee comprised of children's book specialists from school and public libraries and a bookseller examined books published from November 1984 through November 1985, and compiled this annotated bibliography of picture books, fiction, and nonfiction. The bibliography is arranged by age group and categories, among which are picture stories for the youngest (up to age 7); stories, easy-to-reads, and verse (up to age 7); stories (from age 7 to 12); poems, legends, and the arts (from age 7 to 12); history, science, and nature (from age 7 to 12); fiction, fantasy, and science fiction (from age 12 to 14); biography, social science, and poetry (from age 12 to 14); and new editions of old favorites. Full bibliographic information and the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) are given for each book. (SRT)
