FOREWORD
It was Thomas Huxley who said in effect that teaching a child to
read and failing to supply him with books was like giving him knife,
fork and spoon, but providing no food. For many years in Kentucky
we have proceeded too consistently in our education of elementary
school children along the lines of preparation Without sustenance. For
if a child has the habit of reading he is assured of a liberal education.
This list of books, prepared by Miss Ruth L. Theobald, Supervisor
of Public School Libraries, should assist elementary schools in the
purchase of desirable library books. It is our hope that the list will
play a definite part in developing a generation of readers for Ken-
tucky. An intelligent and informed citizenry builds for democracy.
H. W. PETERS,
Superintendent Public Instruction.

INTRODUCTION
Scope of List. This list of books for grades 1—8 does not attempt to be
exhaustive. Some 1,700 titles are included. An effort has been made to
list the best books in every field regardless of price. In addition the larg-
est possible number of inexpensive books of merit have been included,
whether or not this inclusion results in overbalancing any particular class
of books.
Aside from the major objective of compiling a satisfactory state ap-
proved lbuying list of library books for all elementary schools of the Com-
monwealth, a double aim has been kept in mind: the inclusion of (1) as
much material on rural life and activities as possible, and (2) books which
will aid in bringing about international understanding. '
It is suggested that junior high schools or schools wishing to secure
additional library material for grades 7-8, consult also the ”Standard Cata-
log for High School Libraries” published by the H. W. Wilson Company,
950—972 University Ave, New York City. The “Standard Catalog” is the
state approved list of books for secondary school libraries in Kentucky,
and contains information about many books suitable for junior high schools.
It is sold on the service basis: i. e., the cost is greater for larger schools.
The “Children’s Catalog” (H. W. Wilson, 1936), lists approximately
4,200 titles suitable for elementary school and junior high school use. Largo
elementary schools will find it to their advantage to purchase this more
extensive buying list. The “Children’s Catalog” also is sold on the service
basis.
Arrangement of List. The books in this list have been grouped accord-
ing to the Dewey decimal classification, and the Dewey numbers have been
supplied for every title.
.How to Find Books in this List. This grouping should not prove a.
hindrance to the easy location of: any book, since a list of the books by
titles appears on pages 205—282 of this Bulletin, and any book can there-
fore be located with little trouble.
Information Given about Each Book. In addition to the Dewey class
numbers, buying information has been supplied for each book, i. e., author,
title, edition, date where important, publisher, and approximate list price.
These items should be supplied for each book in every purchase order sent
to a book jobber or book publisher.1
A descriptive note has been given for practically every book except
those titles that are well-known or self—explanatory.
The phrase “paper board covers”, appended to a. book note, gives warn-
ing that the cover of the book in question cannot be expected to wear as
Well as a cloth or buckram cover. Books with paper board covers should
nherever possible be bought in reinforced editions directly from a rein-

forcing firm. Companies doing such work can in most cases give discounts
equal to those quoted by book jobbers. The cost of reinforcing a volume is
over and above the discount price, varying according to the type of rein-
forcement; but the uninterrupted use of the book for perhaps a hundred or
more circulations to children may be guaranteed.2
Grading. Inclusive grades for each title have been supplied. This
should make possible a far wider use of each volume than if single grades
were assigned. We can no longer venture to confine the use of any :book
or group of books to children who happen to be grouped in one grade. The
superior pupil in lower grades, as well as the slower pupil in more ad-
vanced grades, can therefore use any one book.
Picture books have been graded according to use rather than reading
difficulty.
Use of This List. The books listed in this Bulletin have been selected
with the view of furnishing the newest and most authentic information in
the various subject fields. Each person purchasing books from this list
must determine whether a particular volume should be included in the
school library book collection in question. The descriptive notes for each
book should aid in determining whether the book under consideration
should be placed on the library shelves.
Unit Study Materials. A suggested list of publications for use in con-
nection with unit study is given below. Two of these have been included
in the booklist itself, since these are more nearly suited to general school
library use

ing America, 425 XV. 123d St., New York, 500 ea.

Instruction in the Use of Books and Libraries. Library instruction as
an isolated course is no longer an acceptable method of presenting this im-
portant type of skill. Integration with subject fields, such as English or
Social science, is the order of the day. A circular which may be secured
free of charge by librarian or teacher is the following:
N. Carolina. State Department of Public Instruction. Teaching the
use of books and libraries to elementary school pupils. Grades 1—7.
(Apply to Supervisor of Public School Libraries, State Department
of Education, Frankfort, Ky., for reprint.)
Other Information with regard to the organization or administration of
school libraries may be obtained from the Supervisor of School Libraries,
State Department of Education, Frankfort, who will be glad to advise with
librarians or teachers. There is no charge for this service.

REGULATIONS OF THE KENTUCKY STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION:
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LIBRARIES
Mandatory Regulations. All elementary schools of the state are re-
quired to meet these regulations.
1.
The elementary school shall not be neglected in attempting to main-
tain high school standards.
General reading facilities shall be available for pupils in all grades,
with as many library books available for each elementary pupil as
for each high-school pupil.
During the school year each child shall read at least ten books
within the range of his reading ability. Provision shall be made by
means of local school libraries, or in county-school systems by a
county-wide circulating library service, whereby books classified by
grades shall :be made available in all schools for the operation of this
requirement.
Advisory Regulations. Because the requirements of the State Board of
Education for elementary school libraries may be raised in the near future,
it is strongly recommended that all elementary schools be prepared to
meet the following standards at as early a date as possible.
1.
School districts should appropriate annually for the purchase of
school library books not less than 1 per cent of the entire budget
appropriation for total current expenditures, exclusive of debt serv-
ice and capital outlay. Expenditures for library books should be
made on the basis of pupil need in the different school levels. Fifty
per cent or more of the minimum appropriation should be spent for
library books in the elementary grades.
The books for the elementary school library should be selected from
the state approved list for elementary schools or from other stand-
ard lists, such as the Children's Catal0g, published by the H. W.
Wilson Company, New York City.
Each school should have a newspaper for use in the school.

“In general, compared with the Thorndike-Century
junior dictionary’, ‘Webster’ is perhaps more suitable
for older children, and more useful as an introduction
to the larger dictionaries. ‘Thorndike’ is more definitely
a first word book, is more colloquial in style and in-
cludes more slang terms. The appearance of the page
in ‘Webster’ is clearer and more pleasing. Both dic-
tionaries would be very useful and would supplement
each other, as many words contained in one are not
in the other, and the definitions and explanations of
words are different in character.” Subscription books
bulletin, January, 1936. p. 15.
