Dear Friends,
Herewith my survey of some of our favorite books for ELEMENTARY &
MIDDLE SCHOOL.
If you wish the more elegant printout, it comes in three attachments:
a cover, and two paginated sections. Email me to receive them, as
attachments are a no-no on this discussion group. Write me at
woodkimball@gis.net, and I will send you the attachments in a Word
format which most computers can open.
You have my permission to distribute free copies to your school or
library colleagues.
So I'll notice your request, put --- in your subject heading --- SEND

Please let me know if you have difficulty receiving this list.
Best regards,
Joan

BEST CHILDREN'S BOOKS of 2007 LM-NET SURVEY
This list is meant to alert you to some of the new books. It compiles
the individual opinions of thirty-nine librarians who have read a few
of the new books. It is NOT comprehensive, and is NOT A RECOMMENDATION
to buy the book before you check reviews (found at the Mackin site, for
example, www.mackin.com) or examine the book yourself. A very fine list
is at the Books For Youth section of the American Library Association's
Booklist Magazine: "Editors' Choice 2007":
