title: Once upon a Heroine: 450 Books for Girls to Love
author:  Alison  Cooper-Mullin 
description: Using recommendations from librarians, teachers, book reviews, and their own experiences as mothers, the authors have compiled a list of classic and current titles from almost every genre that provides girls, from pre-schoolers to young adults, with positive role models. The annotations are generally concise and informative; however, those in the preschool category tend to be cloying and sentimental, e.g., a sweetie pie of a book! or totally adorable! An interesting and valuable component of the book is recollections of 70 famous women of their own childhood favorites. While Kathleen Odeans Great Books for Girls (Ballantine, 1997) covers much of the same ground and is easier to use, these reminiscences and the lack of duplication make Once upon a Heroine a worthwhile addition to parenting or professional shelves.Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ <BR>Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
