Many students say, "I finished reading _____. What should I read now?" Look no further. The Association of Children's Librarians of Northern California publishes a superb list of read-alikes for lovers of children's literature. Read-alikes are lists of suggested titles that have similarities to current popular titles. For instance: "If you like Erin Hunter's Warriors series, try. . ." Very often, young readers are introduced to classics that they may have otherwise missed and discover unsung authors that have wonderful literature to offer.
The ACL's Read-alikes lists are compiled by Penny Peck, who has been a children's librarian for 25 years (not to mention playing the part of Snow White and Mother Goose at Oakland's Fairyland). She knows her stuff.
