The fourth edition lists 759 authors of children's fiction, and suggests others who write in a similar way. Arranged in four age groups it shows genres and some popular titles and/or series for each author. It also indicates whether an author's titles are sometimes available as talking books and/or ebooks and also lists book-prize winners. The guide helps parents, teachers and librarians guide children of all ages to explore the world of reading. More information |
