It's back and it's better than ever, chock full of everything a children's librarian needs for reader's advisory and collection building. A to Zoo: Subject Access to Children's Picture Books, Eighth Edition is the latest version of the guide that has become the standard resource for up-to-date information on fiction and nonfiction picture books for children.
