The Children’s Literature Web Guide. An attempt to gather together and categorize the growing number of Internet resources related to books for children and young Adults. Others provide much of the information that you can find through these pages: fans, schools, libraries, and commercial enterprises involved in the book world.

TeachingBooks.net. Combines many great features: multimedia components, discussion guides to more than 1,000 books, author study, links to children's literature sites.
SmartWriters.com. Variety of resources for writers and educators alike: searchable book review database and author/illustrator school visits directory.
Carol Hurst. Teaching PreK-8 now sponsors this site. It is a collection of reviews of children's literature and ways to use children's literature in the classroom. Features literature-related activities across many subjects and themes. In addition to author studies and book reviews, the site also contains a great deal of professional information. Direct links for ordering literature.
Jim Trelease. Though a bit commercial, this site, by the read-aloud master, offers some unusual links (e.g., parenting, publishers, author sites, "kid-safe" sites) and other features. Worth a visit.
