In addition to the general index, it has an author index, an index to illustrations, and a graded index. The graded index divides children from infancy into young adulthood (up to age 24) into five "grades" and gives suggestions for appropriate selections in each grade. It also has a list of over 500 "Questions Asked by Children of All Ages" with citations for finding the answer. The reading and study courses directs interested readers to relevant pieces in the set regarding more than fifty topics. I add new listings daily and am happy to combine shipping. More Kids' & YA Books Books will be carefully packaged and shipped in cardboard boxes.
