The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to identify
characteristics having a bearing on the selection of
literature about wildlife; and (2) the compilation of a
trade book bibliography for the elementary edition of
Project WILD. Key criteria delineated in regard to
wildlife trade books fall into the categories of literary
quality, accuracy of information, issues and values in
literature, and anthropomorphism.
Valuable assistance in the selection of trade books
can be obtained from librarians and evaluative
bibliographies, such as book review journals. Recent
studies, however, have indicated that these resources are
underused.
Trade books selected for the Project WILD trade book
index were cross-referenced to the activities in Project
WILD. This activity-by-activity listing is followed by an
annotated listing, alphabetized by author. The index
concludes with a wildlife listing, categorized by taxonomic
classifications of the animal kingdom.
