The beloved favorite of children’s librarians everywhere, A to Zoo provides easy subject access that helps librarians build, enhance, and organize storytime programs and reading lists, as well as to help them develop their collections and support curricular needs.

This ninth edition of what has become a gold-standard guide to children's literature indexes some 17,025 picture books for preschool–grade 2 under 1,225 subjects. Covering the full range of genres, themes, and topics, this guide makes it easy to find books to fit a variety of needs, from readers' advisory and program planning at the public library to filling teacher requests for titles to use in curricular units.

With terminology that reflects everyday language, the book offers a user-friendly alternative to traditional Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) access, making it easy to help children, parents, and teachers find books on specific topics or themes.
