To meet a real need for a guide to worthwhile books which can be read, understood and appreciated by the Boys and Girls of Oklahoma. Because of the demand from parents, teachers and librarians for such a list. The purpose of the list is to answer such questions, as : What is the best book for a child on a given subject? Who is the author? What is the price? Where is it published? Where should it be shelved? (Full particulars are given regarding each book ) . Selection of hooks has been given careful considera- tion. Books of practical information and vocational value have been given equal consideration with those of literary and cultural value. Only those are included which have been able to pass the critical test of actual use and enjoy- ment by Boy and Girl readers. Authorities on children's literature have been con- sulted freely. Only titles which have received indorse- ment from several leading authorities are included in the list. It represents the collective work of many people and will be a valuable guide to the best available in children's literature. Acknowledgments for annotations are made to the following sources: A. L. A. Booklist; Children's Cata- logue, and the excellent lists of Cleveland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pittsburg, and Wisconsin. Approximate grades only, in which a book may have special value is indicated. Ability to understand and ap- preciate the printed page varies as widely among children as among adults. School libraries of the state may obtain copies of this list for permanent use upon request of teacher or librarian. Copies will be loaned for individual use. Publishers' prices ^ as given, are subject to change. Generous discounts on large orders may usually be ob- tained. Use of special symbol.

Several thousand hooks are available for general read- ing. They may be used with, but are not intended to take the place of the school libraries which should be provided by every school district.
