Here is how you find children's books at the TCU Library:
When considering your topic, think about synonyms -- other words to try. For example, if your topic is "environmentalism," what other words can you use?
Ideas:
trees
animals
water
oceans

pollution

trash
Think about what words a child might use to find this information.
Our Juvenile Collection also contains young adult books, and most of them do not have pictures. To find children's books specifically, search for books with illustrations. "Ill." is the abbreviation used in our library catalog to notate that a book contains illustrations. To find picture books specifically, include "ill." as a term in your search. For example: Pollution AND "ill."
The search form resets itself every time you do a search. Remember to change the "Collection" back to "Juvenile Collection" or you will get too many irrelevant results.
