BookHive is a web site designed for children ages birth through twelve, their parents,
teachers or anyone interested in reading about children's books. Providing reader's
advisory service, this site contains hundreds of recommended book reviews in a variety
of reading levels and interest areas. Users can search for books by author, title,
reading level, interest area, number of pages, and even favorite illustrator.
This is a collection of reviews of great books for kids, ideas of ways to use them in
the classroom and collections of books and activities about particular subjects,
curriculum areas, themes and professional topics. Many of Carol Hurst's back articles
and sections from her professional books for teachers and librarians have been
reformatted and interlinked them to create an interactive collection of information.
Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators is a categorized list of sites on the Internet
found to be useful for enhancing curriculum and teacher professional growth. It is
updated daily to keep up with the tremendous number of new World Wide Web sites.
The books that appear in this annotated book list were evaluated and selected by a
Book Review Committee appointed by National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and
assembled in cooperation with the Children's Book Council (CBC). NCSS and CBC have
cooperated on this annual bibliography since 1972. Books selected for this bibliography
were published in 2003 and are written primarily for children in grades K-8.
This site covers all of Jim Trelease's efforts in helping children make books into
friends, not enemies - with excerpts from his books, book reviews, a trivia quiz and his
favorite education websites, and more.
