"The Literature Teacher's Book of Lists is one of the first resources I turn to when beginning any literature unit. It is well organized, comprehensive and extensively cross-referenced--in short, indispensable!" --Dee Brtt, library media specialist, Valley Schools, Boulder, Colorado "What better resource for teachers for ESOL than The Literature Teacher's Book of Lists for making language acquisition both stimulating and enjoyable." --Joseph P. Glendenning, bilingual educator, Eastern Massachusetts Literacy Council, Inc. "Judie Strouf's encyclopedic Literature Teacher's Book of Lists is truly amazing! I recommend it enthusiastically to all my students--especially those who are prospective teachers." --Michael Flachmann, professor of English, California State University, Bakersfield and 1995 Carnegie Foundation United States Professor of the Year "Nobody but erudite Judie Strouf could write a more comprehensive, clear cut, concise reference guide. A treasure and a must for all teachers and those who love to read." --Ethel Neidoff, president, The Sun City West Writers Group "This quality resource of literature, especially for young adults, is beneficial for anyone not strictly educators. Parents, and even students, might use Ms. Strouf's book in selecting appropriate reading materials. During this stage in education when reading at grade level is a serious problem, this reference would greatly assist anyone in need of such information." --Cheri Zangmeister, English and reading teacher, Southern High School, Louisville, Kentucky "Yes! This second edition has been updated and strongly detailed! A masterful compilation forming a vital link between knowledge and enjoyment." --Walter C.
