The 1993 Texas Reading Club theme is classic children's books, working from the premise that these are some books no childhood should be without. Each of the chapters focuses on a particular type of book. In each chapter, activities and handouts are presented for a toddler program, three storytimes, and two upper elementary school programs. At the end of every chapter is a list of additional books for family sharing. The title of each chapter is a quote from a children's classic. The chapters deal with the following topics: (1) an introduction to classics; (2) classic journeys; (3) animal classics; (4) fantasy classics; (5) informational classics; (6) folk/fairy tale classics; (7) toy classics; (8) mystery/adventure classics; (9) contemporary and realistic classics; and (10) multicultural classics. An annotated bibliography of 712 books is included, as well as a list of 31 media items. (SLD)
