Tips for Selecting A Great Book(s):
1. Check the cover. Does the dust jacket catch your eye? Don't judge the
book only by its cover.
2. Read the summary on the inside flap. Does the book sound like something
you would enjoy?
3. Look at the illustrations and skim the text. Do the words and pictures
make an interesting combination?
4. Try the obvious. Look on the return cart and check the books waiting to
be shelved. You’ll find some good choices here. Look at the new book
displays as well. Especially if you read a lot.
5. Ask the librarian, who knows hundreds of great books and would be glad to
make some suggestions.
6. Look at what your friends are reading. Ask them for recommendations.
7 Think about books that your teachers may have shared. Would you like to
reread a favorite?
8. Read other books written by your favorite author and/or authors.
9. Read about your hobbies or other special interests.
10. Browse through the non-fiction section. Something will certainly catch
your eye here. Look at the books on display.
11. Read variations of your favorite folk and fairy tales.
12. Be alert for book reviews. How about reviews in newspapers, magazines or
on the Internet?
