ALA: Core titles list

July 1, 2010 by Brigid Alverson   3 comments

The Good Comics for Kids team was at the American Library Association meeting in Washington, DC, last weekend, and on Sunday, June 27, we presented a panel titled “Good Comics for Kids.” I’m happy to say that over 100 people attended the hour-and-a-half session and the vast majority stayed until the last question was answered. We handed out a list of core titles at the presentation, and at the request of several people, we are posting them here as well. We have added ISBNs for some titles for your convenience.
