Top 10 Easy Readers: 2004

Ilene Cooper. Booklist, 2004. Accessed: June 3, 2015.

This article is a round-up of ten titles reviewed in Booklist between July 2003 and June 2004. The selections include both fiction and non-fiction, with a variety of publishers and houses represented. It’s a great time capsule of the year and can be used to help build a core collection of beginning readers. The reviews of each book are simple and straight-forward making this a quick article for librarians to read and gain information from.
