A good basic reference for children's books on many subjects, including
art, is:
Huck, Charlotte, et al. (1997) (6th Ed.). Children's Literature in the
Elementary School. Madison, WI: Brown & Benchmark.
Resources are recommended by grade level.

>Colleagues: I've just had an electronic reference query about contemporary
>books on art for young folks("children" grades
>one through nine per the questioner!). The question came
>from someone whose mother owns a series of books dating
>from the 1930's that explains art in language that "children"
>of that age might understand and they want to know if there is
>a more contemporary series of books that covers this area...
>Since I select books for an academic library at an institution
>that does not "do" elementary and junior high art education,
>I am totally at a loss as to what to recommend or what
>alternatives to offer. Can someone in the Public Library Division
>help in this quest? Thanks in advance for whatever help you can
>provide to me. Share with the list?------tom jacoby
