Review
"BLACK BOOKS GALORE! is distinct from similar efforts ...in that selections are ′children′s′ books, as opposed to works of Black literature that youth should be encouraged to read."––Emerge, October 1998

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource- comprehensive and age specific, 9 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This is a one-of-a-kind resource written by parents for parents. 500 books are reviewed and categorized by age and reading ability. The descriptions are uniquely kid-focused and include key indicators such as "contains Carribean dialect" or "use of the 'N word'"). This book would make a great gift to friends with African American children or a school library. Even those with an extensive collection of books featuring African American children and adults will find something new and promising.
