Children S Catalog

The 1st ed. includes an index to v. 28-36 of St. Nicholas.

The 16th edition of the Catalog carries on the intent of the first edition, published in 1909: to include the best books for children in the fields of fiction and nonfiction. The "best" now comes to 6,061 titles and 7,189 analytical entries, including books and magazines for children from preschool through sixth grade, as well as sources for the children's librarian or media specialist. In addition to the bound volume, purchasers will receive four annual supplements to be published in 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995. An exemplary reference which shouldn't be hidden behind the reference desk, as it serves parents (and their precocious offspring) quite as well as it does librarians, teachers, and administrators.
