The Book Shelf for Boys & Girls, from Nursery Rhyme to Grown-Up Time. 1923-1924.

Softcover 8vo, 50pp. Illustration by Jessie Wilcox Smith on the rear wrap, various illustrations from the books in the catalog throughout the text. Considerable dust/soil to exterior, contents remain generally clean and unmarked. Catalog of children's books with recommendations and annotations by three librarians, including from the Brooklyn Public Library and Chief Librarian of the Boy Scouts of America. Interesting material about what children should be reading, particularly the push toward how-to books for boys.
