Which story suits a restless four-year-old, and which needs a room of six-year-olds? Effie Power, a pioneer of American children's librarianship, answers with graded lists and ready-made story-hour programs, special days included. A working tool from the golden age of the library story hour. For the grown-up who tells the tales.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
