We Review
We read thousands of books every year and select only the best.
The JLG editorial team reviews more than 3,000 new titles, in manuscript or prepublication stages, submitted to us by major publishers. We’ve developed a keen sense for finding the best of the best—our eye for storytelling, topic variety, illustration, and art direction has proven, year after year, to be remarkably effective. More than 95 percent of our selections go on to receive awards and/or favorable reviews.
You Choose
Choose from a wide range of Reading Levels and subjects that fit your needs.
You choose the right mix and number of Reading Levels for your library. No one knows your library or your readers better than you, so you’re in the best position to make the choices that meet their specific needs. JLG offers Reading Levels for students from prekindergarten through high school in genres from easy reading to mature young adult, even paperback trade books. There’s something for every reader, always at a price well-below publisher’s list.
