I wanted to offer some other websites that are listed at LII on Children's
literature :{A small selection from 90 entries]
[I hope my reputation is still intact after the first submission of a poorly
maintained site!]
1)Database of Award-Winning Children's Literature
Search this database to locate award winning juvenile books that fit your criteria.
Many features can be specified including age, genre, award, ethnicity of
protagonist, gender of protagonist, historical period, and more. Produced by
librarian Lisa R. Bartle.

2)ALSC: Association for Library Service to Children
Excellent annotated collections of Internet resources for children, parents,
teachers, children's librarians, and those interested in becoming children's
librarians.

3) International Children's Digital Library (ICDL)
"The mission of the ICDL is to select, collect, digitize, and organize children's
materials in their original languages and to create appropriate technologies for
access and use by children 3-13 years old." The site provides access to hundreds of
digitized children's books from around the world. Books are searchable, or
browsable by category, title, author, or location. Also includes links to related
resources. A project of the University of Maryland and the Internet Archive.

4)Carol Hurst's Children's Literature Site
"This is a collection of reviews of great books for kids, ideas of ways to use them
in the classroom and collections of books and activities about particular subjects,
curriculum areas, themes and professional topics." The site is focused on
pre-kindergarten to eighth grade educator's needs and has lesson plans, display
ideas, and a free quarterly newsletter. Carol Hurst is a consultant, and author.

"Manners are of more importance
than laws. Manners are what vex
or soothe,
corrupt or purify, exalt or
debase, barbarize or refine us,
by a constant,
steady, uniform, insensible
operation, like that of the air
we breathe in."
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
