WHAT ELSE SHOULD I READ?
Guiding Kids to Good Books, Vol. II
by Matt Berman
What Else Should I Do ($24.00; Aug. 1996; 200 pp.; 1-56308-419- 8): Berman, a teacher and children's book columnist for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reduces his process of book recommendation to a simple structure: from 30 children's novels he has created ``book webs'' of related titles, to be reproduced for display in classroom or library. Along with suggestions for incorporating books and reading into nearly every aspect of the school day, he offers nuts-and-bolts tips for encouraging kids to take charge of their own reading habits.
