Based on replies from all of you wonderful people, I did not express myself well enough. I love the answers and will compile a hit soon, but I feel I missed the mark in my request. My concern are books like Bridge to Teribithia, and Yankee Girl-Rodman. Both of these books have themes I most 2nd or 3rd graders (at least at my school) would not understand. Both are somewhat controversial in that parents might choose to explain death or segregation to their own children. So how do, monitor these? Do I as someone suggested go through the collection and mark all the ones I think are too mature for 2nd and 3rd grade? Or do I just them self select. Some students still are quite good at that. Thank you for all your input and I will post a hit soon.
