Giorgis, Cyndi; Johnson, Nancy J.; Colbert, Chrissie; Conner, Angela; Franklin, Abby; King, Janine
Reading Teacher, v53 n4 p344-52 Dec-Jan 1999-2000
Presents brief descriptions of 36 children's books, all "good books" with the potential to linger in the hearts of readers. Organizes the books into categories: those that withstand the test of time, relate to common experiences, explore family relationships, extend readers' knowledge, inspire readers to follow their dreams, and invite readers back again and again.
