The first reference of its kind, Great Books for Girls is an invaluable list of more than six hundred titles--picture books, novels, mysteries, biographies, folktales, sports books, and more--that will encourage, challenge, and ultimately nurture in girls the strong qualities our culture so often suppresses. Kathleen Odean, a librarian and former member of the prestigious Caldecott and Newbery Award committees, has gathered and annotated a list of books starring bold, confident heroines for children from toddlers to age fourteen. Here are old favorites such as Eloise, Harriet the Spy, Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, and Ramona the Pest; new inspirations such as Cinder Edna, Sheila Rae the Brave, Herculeah Jones, and Princess Smartypants; and real-life admirable women such as Eleanor of Aquitaine, Jane Goodall, Toni Morrison, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Helen Keller. In these books, girls and women are creative, capable, articulate, and intelligent, solving problems, facing challenges, resolving conflicts, and going on quests. They are not sidekicks or tokens, waiting to be rescued; they are doing the rescuing. Nor are they waiting for a male to provide a happy ending; they are fashioning their own stories and their own endings. Packed with expert guidance,Great Books for Girls is an essential volume that will give girls of all ages the power of hope. |

Written on May 21, 1998 Summary: very good but missing non-fiction This is an excellent book as a reference for fiction books for girls. In that respect I would rate it with 10. It is missing descriptions of non-fiction books, however, whereas the boys' version of this book ("600 Great Books for Boys") has substantial non-fiction sections. I think this is a serious flaw, perhaps even sexist. Hopefully this will be rectified in the next edition.  Written on August 6, 1997 Summary: A fabulous resource! This book is a great investment! My daughter is a voracious reader, and this book has helped me find lots of great books for her. We have read a good number of the selections and they have turned out to be great stories. I've found that the annotations in other parent book guides are too short to differentiate the books, and the selections tend to be no more satisfying than books I can find myself. Great Books for Girls continues to surprise and delight me Written on May 11, 1997 Summary: Parents of girls: take this book with you to the library! We take this book with us every library visit. It's full of wonderful books that we would never have found.Strongly recommended! Written on February 14, 1997 Summary: Terrific ...fills a much needed void! Each book recommended by Kathleen Odean is well reviewed and accurate. My daughter has throughly enjoyed the four books we have read based on Ms. Odean's list |
