What is the range of books/materials in the collection? 

# data[].attributes.body
This library features carefully selected non-fiction and fiction picturebooks. The standards-based topics of science, English language arts, and math are covered. Other categories put an emphasis on art, diversity, and social emotional learning. Ancient and modern childhood classics, and then body movement books round out the last two categories. These books are suited for emergent to early readers.  This library was specifically designed with a second grade class in mind, but could work for grades 1-3. Many of these books can be enjoyed by younger or older readers too. Any one of them would make for an excellent read aloud for enjoyment or could be tied in to an academic standard.
