Looking for a book on conservation for your storytime read-aloud? A title on recycling projects for your 5th graders? What about information sources on pollution to add to your collection? This guide can help you with challenges like these--and many others. It organizes and describes some 450 current fiction and nonfiction titles about the environment, with some alternative media (DVDs and musical CDs) included, as well.

Green Reads: Best Environmental Resources for Youth, K-12 is divided into five chapters, each dedicated to a broad environmental subject. Annotations are arranged first by whether they are nonfiction or fiction and then by age ranges and authors. For each title, you'll find complete bibliographic information, a list of subjects, and codes that denote whether the book is "heart-filled, fun, and lively in tone"; contains substantive factual information; or features hands-on, "what-you-can-do-about-it" information. This is a thorough and versatile source--a must-purchase for school and public libraries.
