The Fountas and Pinnell Leveled Book List, K-8, 2006-2008 also has their leveled books sorted by level, plus they have a website. But actually National Geographic, Newbridge, many others now include the F & P level in their catalogues to make it easier to select their books if you're considering levels as part of your criteria. Saves you from having to flip back and forth between a catalogue and a leveling resource. I believe BMI does also, and that's good for a lot of fiction selections, including books that are generally unavailable on sources such as amazon.com. But the Scholastic site does quite well. If you aren't familiar with the Steps to Literacy catalogue, that would definitely be my first recommendation. They have chosen (and done well) collections of books which you can purchase as sets for classrooms. For instance, some of the sets available for levels you mentioned would have 10 books for $60 for a general set. They also have a set of "fourth grade stories," baseball fiction stories, Nancy Drew Girl Detective books, animals in varied habitats set, Grade 4 favorite authors collection, historical fiction collection, biography collection.... Well, you get the idea. They have done an outstanding job of marketing what people want to buy! Good luck.
