ALSC has teamed up with “The Oprah Winfrey Show” to provide a Kids Reading List on the show’s Web site (http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahsbookclub/kidsreadinglist/pkgkidsreadinglist/20080701_orig_kids_books).
The list is divided into five age groups, from infant to two through 12 and up. Each group contains an annotated bibliography of librarian-recommended reading. There is also a separate “Classics” section, grouped by age ranges, giving parents the opportunity to share the books they once loved with their own children. The Web site also provides a list of ways to make reading fun for kids, and other helpful tips for parents.
The Kids Reading List was compiled by the ALSC Quicklists Consulting Committee, which works to promote books and other resources through recommendations, compilations of lists, and related services.

Where can I find a copy of Oprah children’s book club or reading list

Hello, Nancy:
I can send you a copy of the Kids Reading List that was compiled for “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” Just a reminder that it was created in 2008, so the titles included are very old.
If you would like a copy sent to you, please send your email address to alsc@ala.org.
Thanks for your interest!
