Lima, a former children's librarian, and Thomas, an elementary school librarian, provide a resource for children's librarians for reader's advisory and collection building that lists 13,755 picture books for children in grades preK-2, cataloged under 1,215 subjects, to help them find books for story times, programs, and curricular units; fill gaps in the collection; create topical booklists; and help parents, children, and teachers find books. The guide begins with a list of subject headings, followed by a subject guide to the books and a guide listing each title with full bibliographic information. This edition has been revised to focus on titles published from 2000-2009, including classics and popular earlier titles from well-known authors and illustrators, as well as award winners. It excludes books that are no longer available in school or public libraries and updates titles on contemporary issues like divorce, handicaps, and illnesses. Indexes list the books by title and illustrator. Libraries Unlimited is an imprint of ABC-CLIO, LLC. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
