Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People
- Share to:
The books that appear in this annotated list were evaluated and selected by a Book Review Committee appointed by the National Council for the Social Stud- ies (NCSS) and assembled in cooperation with the Children’s Book Council (CBC). NCSS and CBC have cooperated on this annual bibliography since 1972. Books se- lected for this bibliography were published in 2009 and were written for children in grades K-12. The Book Review Committee looks for books that emphasize hu- man relations, represent a diversity of groups and are sensitive to a broad range of cultural experiences, present an original theme or a fresh slant on a traditional topic, are easily readable and of high literary quality, have a pleasing format, and, where appropriate, include illustrations that enrich the text. Each book is read by several reviewers, and books are included on the list by committee assent; the an- notations do not necessarily reflect the judgment of the entire committee. Publishers’ addresses are available in standard reference works such as Children’s Books in Print (R.R. Bowker) and Literary Market Place (R.R. Bowker), and from CBC. CBC’s Members List may be downloaded at www.cbcbooks.org/about/ourmembers. Credits for permission to reproduce the cover art included in this supplement are printed on page 16.
