Intro
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, sportsbooks, 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 have gathered and
annotated a list of books starring bold, confident heroines for children
from toddlers to age fourteen.

Great Books for Girls
Review
I find the list of over 600 books to bring inspiration and hope to all young girls. Middle graders will read about brave young women who rescue, face challenges, go on quests and resolve conflicts. I will benefit greatly from this well-organized resource tool for my granddaughter's love of books. I especially love the ideas and tips mentioned in the section, Empowering Your Daughter. What a wonderful book!
5 stars!
Great Books for Girls
Happy Reading!
