The Child Study Press Introduction

Each year bookshops and publishers' lists are bulging with a tempting array of new books for children: tall books, tiny books, fat books and thin books; picture-books for the youngest; fun books and serious books of information about everything you want to know; books on how to make and do practically anything. Row to choose for a particular child or children?.How to find among the many a book which will please, inspire, inform, or perhaps open doors to understanding, whether of today's realities or of man's past achievements; of science or the inner world of thought and emotion; the magic of fantasy; the beauty of poetry and creative art? They are all there for the choosing. To help parents, teachers, librarians or others who care about children and their reading find their way through the plethora of new books, the Children's Book Committee have reviewed some 2,500 juveniles published in 1974, and selected tine following titles for this annual listing. (A few 1973 titles received too late for last year's listing are included). The Committee is a voluntary group of parents, teachers, librarians, writers and specialists in various related fields. They meet weekly throughout the year to discuss and evaluate each hook, its literary merit, its age suitability, and its possible impact on the young reader or listener. The listing.ranges from the nursery years through age thirteehsince young people begin then to dip widely into adult and young adult literature. Its criteria of selection takes into account the varied interests of boys and girls at all, ages and their differences in reading skills. For convenience, titles are arranged ih age groups and topical divisions, with some specified as easy to read. In the division for older boys and girls two groupings, Stories about Today and Growing Up, single out books reflecting the social and emotional stresses of today's world. Non-fiction books of information are listedin topical groupings under the general heading: For Special Interests. Because of the variations in children's reading tastes and skills, it is advisable to browse through several age and special interest listings with a particular child in mind. Starred (*) titles indicate books of outstanding merit. Inexpensive books of high quality are included wherever possible, as well as good new editions which bring old favorites to the attention of new readers.

Especially welcome is the increase in fine paperback reprints of recent and not-so-recent favorites that have proved their appeal to readers, ranging from the youngest to the teen, age. the children's, hook committee
