--> Schon, Isabel. Recommended Books in Spanish for Children and Young Adults, 2004-2008.
ISBN 978-0-8108-6386-6
If you buy books for a children's or young adult Spanish-language collection, you've likely heard of Isabel Schon. This is her latest work, and it includes more than 1,200 recommendations for books in Spanish, both for those published in the United States and elsewhere. Each annotation provides the title of the book in English and Spanish, a 1/3 to 1/2 page explanation of what the book is about and why Schon recommends it, and the approximate grade level and price. The work is divided into 4 sections: reference, nonfiction, publishers' series, and fiction. Finally, it includes three indices--author, title, and subject--as well as an appendix listing dealers of books in Spanish. -- Jen
