SUMMARY
Recommended Books –
This section title speaks for itself. It
is a section that supports The Horn’s editorial mission of promoting good books
for adults and children. The annotated list
provides the basic book information, including reading level and pricing along
with a summary.
RESPONSE
TO RESOURCE
LIKED - This section could definitely be
helpful for teachers and librarians to keep current with quality titles. I liked that the list included a variety of
genres and topics, from YA to books that support Shark Week. The tags (i.e. boys reading, biographies)
helped narrow the search and connect to similar books/topics.
DISLIKED – This isn’t necessarily a
dislike, but the list was lengthy.
Perhaps a top 10 of the year would be helpful. Or maybe there is a top 10 and I haven’t found
it yet.
FUTURE USE – Absolutely! Whether it’s using the list as a reference to
stay current, or to search specific topics or genres, I could definitely see
using this in the future on an as needed or on occasion basis.
RESPONSE
TO CONTENT
LEARNED- This is a great reference list for
recommended children’s titles. Much like
Amazon’s tracking, I can click on the tagged subject and find similar recommended
titles (i.e. Back to School).
USE AS A SCHOOL LIBRARIAN – I could
definitely see using this when I wanted to add to my library, whether it is
looking at freshening up the collection or building up a certain area such as boys
reading (mentioned above).
QUESTIONS – So many book lists! Which ones are the best? Why these picks? I definitely would like to explore this
resource further to understand how the recommended list is pulled together as
well as build a better understanding of children’s book lists (i.e.,
Caudill).
