Books about childrens' problems

[Sweet Home High School <hslib@MORAN.COM>]

In response to the questions that have been posted about finding books
which deal with children's problems, people might want to look for a
copy of Bookfinder 2, and the Best of Bookfinder, both published by
American Guidance Service, Circle Pines, MN  55014

These sources are: "A guide to children's literature about the needs
and problems of youth, aged 2-15. They describe and categorize
childrens books according to 450 psychological, behavioral and
developmental topics.  It is written primarily for parents, teachers,
librarians, counselors, psychologists and other adults who want to
find books to help children cope with the challenges of life." (from
the introduction).

Each entry provides a summary of the book, the subject area it deals
with (divorce, etc.), ages it is appropriate for, and all formats in
which it is available (hardcover, paperback, cassette, etc.)

Our school psychologist recommended Bookfinder.  Cost was about $75.00
each when I purchased them.
