The Essential Guide to Children's Books and Their Creators

  • 1 Have read

Upon publication, Children’s Books and Their Creators, Anita Silvey’s comprehensive survey of contemporary children’s literature, was called “an invaluable reference . . . [and] a wonderful resource” (Christian Science Monitor) and garnered unanimous praise from librarians, educators, and specialists interested in the world of writing for children. This new volume introduces readers to the wealth of children’s literature by focusing on the essentials — the best books for children, the ones that inform, impress, and, most important, excite young readers. Updated to include newcomers such as J. K. Rowling and Lemony Snicket and to cover the very latest on publishing and educational trends, this edition features more than 475 entries on the best-loved children’s authors and illustrators, numerous essays on social and historical issues, thirty personal glimpses into craft by well-known writers, illustrators, and critics, and invaluable reading lists by category.
