The Book Tree: A Christian Reference for Children's Literature

by Elizabeth McCallum

This guide is a great reference tool to assist parents as they select literature for their children. It points to all the major classics and favorites, as well as many lesser known treasures. Its summaries are divided into preschool, elementary, middle school, and high school levels. Three indexes make for easy navigation, as do the convenient page numbers on each page. 

Over a period of ten years, Elizabeth McCallum and her daughter read every young person's book currently available. They selected only the very best books to include in this annotated reference guide. Unlike other book lists on the market, this guide has been written for the children themselves; the style is conversational, the pictures are zany, and the commentaries on every book imitate the author's style so that the reader can get an accurate impression of each book. The authors have one purpose in mind—to encourage children of all ages to read good books.  Softcover · 222 pages.
