LSRAfll MICHIGAN STATE LIBRARY A FIRST SELECTION OF 500 CHILDREN'S BOOKS FOR A LIBRARY C] MICHIGAN STATE LIBRARY A FIRST SELECTION OF 500 CHILDREN'S BOOKS FOR A LIBRARY I^^Al^ OF THE A UNIVERSI'^Y } Compiled by Effie L. Power, instructor in children's liter- ature, Cleveland Normal School 1903-1908. Lecturer on chil- dren's lit erature Western Reserve University Library School. A <^ I '\ INTRODUCTION. This children's library was selected and the books purchased for the use of the students in the summer library school conducted by the Micliigan State Board of Library Commissioners at the State Library Lansing, 1908. The list is now printed for the use of all library workers in the state. The books here listed make up a general children's library, which should lead to the adult library. Care has been taken to include a fair proportion of books of information and to recommend attractive editions of standard works of literature. The library child is not at first a reader and his choice is greatly influenced by the mechanical make-uj) of books. He is attracted by the clear tyjje, wide margins and the color in the binding. There is an educating power in all these details, and the best editions, especially of the classics, should be purchased for use in the children's library. The compiler of this catalogue, Miss Effie L. Power, has had large experience and has earned a reputation as a children's librarian and teacher of library work for children. A large proportion of the notes included in this list was prepared by Miss May H. Prentice and Miss Effie L. Power and appear in a list entitled '^'A children's library" compiled by the above mentioned librarians. Notes have also been selected from the lists prepared by the Oregon Commission, the Cleveland Public Libraiy, the Wisconsin Conmiission and the Pittsburg Caniegie IJbrary. This*^list will be submitted to book sellers in the state with the request that they furnish the books listed at the discount price. MARY C.

Button, $.50 32 The children and the world owe this delightful absurdity to a little girl friend of Mr. Thackeray's, as it was written to amuse her during an illness. It is his only juvenile, and more's the pity. The rose and the ring each had the power of 16 Grade making its wearer charming in the eyes of any beholder. Naturally as it changed hands some complications of the affections arose, and these give Mr. Thackeray his opportunity, which he improves far beyond the power of any brief note to set forth. — Prentice and 1'oweii.
