The Teaching Librarian Volume 10, no. 3 47 struggling readers, students who are competent readers but who would rather do something else, and students who are avid readers as long as they can read the books they want to read. In Info-Kids, Jobe and Dayton- Sakari argue that, rather than fight the info-kids' focus on facts, teach- ers should create a parallel cur- riculum which takes advantage of this focus to help students develop the literacy skills and love of read- ing so necessary for success. The authors explore the challenges of dealing with info-kids, identify vari- ous types within this group, and celebrate the satisfaction of teach- ing these students. There's plenty of information about the interests of various types of info-kids (Info-Kids Who Love Facts, Info-Kids Who Act Out or Hide Out, etc.), including their interests, appropriate resources, and suggested strategies for teach- ing information literacy skills. Jobe and Dayton-Sakari provide a list of professional references and a collated list of all suggested info- kid resources. A detailed table of contents and an index helps the reader find specific information quickly and easily. Info-Kids is written for elementary classroom teachers. While Jobe and Dayton-Sakari make repeated references to teacher-librarians and school libraries, they also note that far too many teachers and stu- dents don't have access to the expertise of a teacher-librarian or the resources of a good school library collection. Although it's addressed to teachers, elementary teacher-librarians will find this book an interesting and useful tool in their efforts to support both teachers and students. The many title and series recom- mendations and the suggestions for evaluating information books also make Info-Kids a useful collec- tion development tool. Despite the elementary focus and the rather young student in the cover photo, secondary teacher-librari- ans should also consider reading Info-Kids. I know I recognized a number of my most challenging grade 9 and 10 boys and now have a better idea how I might encour- age them to read and help meet by Brenda Dillon their literacy needs.
