This book is a selected annotated list of 299 short films that have been tested for their appeal to children 3-12 and for their pedagogical qualities. Each entry contains a description of the film and a brief note suggesting the application of the film in the classroom. The main entry section is introduced with a discussion of how a children's film theatre is set up. The book is illustrated by "stills" from the films and photographs of children's typical post-screening activities. A list of addresses of film distributors concludes the work. The film list is the result of the work of the Children's Film Theater of the Center for Understanding Media in New York City. (CH)
