education, literature and children's books, the text lists 300-plus annotated entries grouped within an extensive range of subheadings. The text also includes the author's notes on integrated
curriculum, a sample list of multicultural books supporting an integrated curriculum, an extensive appendix of activities that can be used to support multicultural book content, and an appendix
listing books by eight major microcultures (age, ethnicity, exceptionality, gender, language, race, religion, and social class). Annotation 穢2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
