Berman begins by explaining the Whole Language Reading Program, which seems to have influenced the book’s organization. There are only thirty entries, but users can locate other titles using the indexes for author, title, and topic. Each entry has three pages: a web with the entry in the center surrounded by topic lists; the topic lists in a grid format; and the topic lists with brief annotations. The format, in particular the web, makes the information more accessible to kids, but librarians will want to consult other resources. ( )
