HIT: Book lists for grades 2-5

[Julie Masterson-Smith <Julie_Masterson/HFL@HFL.MONROE.EDU>]

My original TARGET message was:

 Our PTA has a wonderful reading incentive program called 'Good Books, =
Good
 Times' for our grade 3-5 students.
 They provide a list of several hundred recommended books, including Ca=
ldecott
and Newbery Award winners.  The list currently in use was provided by N=
ew York
 State (we think...no one truly knows the origin of it) and we want to =
UPDATE
IT!

 I'm looking for any already-in-existence lists of books for grades 3-5=
 which
include excellent books, preferably with some newer material.  Any sugg=
ested
resources for this?
Thanks so very much for your time.

I had started gathering award lists and ran across this list of lists
 http://childrensbooks.about.com/cs/stateawards/index_2.htm

 Since most are annual awards, there are plenty of new reads here!


 Below is a list of national awards. Many are non-fiction. Doing a sear=
ch
 with terms in quotes should pull up these on net.  I do have this list=

 with explanations and links set up as a page. Be glad to send as
 attachment if you want. Just let me know.

 Some start lower (like 1st grade) and some go higher (8th) but all cov=
er
 all or some of the 3-5 grades.
 List start:
