Synopsis

This is intended to help the reader identify the best filmed versions of books for children and young adults. It offers in-depth descriptions of popular films and videos for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Profiled are some 1200 films, videos, and laser-discs based on hundreds of children's and young adults books. Entries are easily accessed using the directory's alphabetical arrangement by book title. They provide all the important details, including film or video title, distributor, release date, viewing time, film technique, producer, audience level, brief synopsis, foreign language adaptations available, review citations (when available), formats available, and prices, rights, and more. Also included is a quality rating determined by the authors. Review information comes straight from the sources such as "School Library Journal", "Booklist", "Landers", "New York Times Film Reviews", "Video Librarian" and "Variety". Five indexes are included: film title/book author, audience age level, subject, award, and signed/captioned for the hearing impaired.
