Praise for The Mother of All Booklists

The Mother of All Booklists is amazing. A valuable resource and a good read in itself! Judy Allen, author of Awaiting Developments and winner of the Whitbread Childrens Novel Award and the Friends of the Earth Award

A brilliant, heartfelt, beautifully written and well-chosen compilation of some of the best books for children, teens, and adults. A fabulous resource for teachers, librarians, and parents. Dianna H. Aston, author of A Rock Is Lively , a Boston Globes Best Childrens Book of the Year

A treasure trove for lovers of nonfiction! Don Brown, award-winning author of He Has Shot the President!: April 14, 1865: The Day John Wilkes Booth Killed President Lincoln

Martins The Mother of All Booklists provides a terrific resource for teachers, students, librarians, and anyone who loves books. Its focus on nonfiction not only caters to professionals looking for Common Core materials but helps validate the interests of the huge number of readers who have always preferred factual books. Most of all, its just a great read and will send people scurrying to the library. Sneed B. Collard, author of Animal Dads , The Prairie Builders , and Sneed B. Collard IIIs Most Fun Book Ever about Lizards

This is a resource Ill keep nearby, not just to guide my own reading but as a secret reference to use when people ask me to recommend good books for them to read. Martins thorough and smart review of recent nonfiction will make me look smart when Im asked to talk about books worth reading. This book is a must-have for school and public libraries. Patrons and librarians will wear out this resource in their search for great nonfiction books. Teachers at all levels will also find great value in it. Considering how much information this book contains, its surprisingly easy to navigate, and the author has anticipated readers needs by, for example, rearranging the master lists into smaller, subject-defined categories. I also appreciated the short biographies of twenty-five contemporary authors and the extensive bibliographies at the end of the volume. The annotations are engagingly written, and the range of books included is impressive. If this book cant help someone find a nonfiction book they want to read, I dont know what will. Chris Crowe, professor of English at Brigham Young University and author of Death Coming Up the Hill

Now that my children are teenagers, I seem to have forgotten how to select books for kids of any other age. Fortunately, Im among readers who can listen to mother to reliably make choices, and not just for children but for readers of all ages. The mother in this case is Bill Martin, author of A Lifetime of Fiction: The 500 Most Recommended Reads for Ages 2 to 102 and its nonfiction sequel, The Mother of All Booklists: The 500 Most Recommended Nonfiction Reads for Ages 3 to 103 . Bill took on the overwhelming task of delving into the opinions of a legion of book reviewers and researching multiyear booklists across the board so his selections represent the combined viewpoints of critics rather than the opinions of just one or a few. His exceptionally easy-to-use guide enables parents, teachers, and interested readers to quickly select books based on readers ages, in five categories, from preschool through adult. Each category contains 100 titles and descriptions. Thank you, Bill, for creating such a valuable resource. Your book will no doubt be one of the most dog-eared in every school and public library. Jennifer Keats Curtis, award-winning author of Kalis Story: An Orphaned Polar Bear Rescue
