Homework Helper–Finding Concept Books
October 12, 2009
Concept books present concepts, such as alphabet, counting, color, shape, size, comparison, or opposites, that expand the young child’s knowledge or skill.
Easy: To find alphabet books, browse the 411 call number in the juvenile literature collection.
To find counting books, browse the 511 call number in the juvenile literature collection.
Better: To find concept books beyond alphabet and counting books, consult A to Zoo: Subject Access to Children’s Picture Book (7th ed.) Call number: JUVENILE REFERENCE PN 1009.5 .P5 X56 2006.
Using the Subject Guide, begin with the term Concepts to find a list of books. To find specific concepts, continue to browse the subheadings, such as Concepts—color or Concepts—in & out. Take the titles you wish to find to the HBLL homepage, and do a title search to find the call number.
