Anderson, Vicki
This annotated bibliography identifies fiction books, suitable for grades K-9, whose main theme is the social life and customs of immigrants to the United States. The collection represents 705 titles arranged alphabetically by ethnic group. Over 60 different nationalities and ethnic groups are covered, with the most entries for Mexican. Examples of other ethnic groups included are African, Belgian, Puerto Rican, Chinese, Polish, Italian, Russian, French, German, and Vietnamese. Copyright dates range from 1965 to 1993, with some earlier classic titles included. Each entry provides author, bibliographic information, grade level, and a brief annotation. Reading levels range from preschool to young adult. Also included are one to three subject headings for each entry that indicate what aspect of life the book covers and what kinds of information can be found. Appendices include books arranged by grade level; a listing of nationality abbreviations used in the indexes; and author, title, and subject indexes. (LP)
