Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Naomi Williamson
This second title sponsored by the United States Board on Books for Young People and edited by Susan Stan, follows Children's Books from Other Countries, which was edited by Carl M. Tomlinson (Scarecrow, 1998). The first title included international books published between 1950 and 1996, while this book provides a listing of international books published between 1996 and 2000. Part One provides "An Overview of International Children's Literature" written by Tomlinson. Included is a discussion of the International Children's Literature Movement, as well as an introduction titled "How International Books Come to the United States" through translation and co-publication. Stan discusses how books can be used as bridges linking "bodies of land, groups of people, and cultural systems." Part Two (chapters 3-9) is the bibliography, sorted by country/area, and includes 701 titles with annotations and publication information. Also included for each area listing is related information such as children's book awards, web sites, journal titles, and online bookstores where books from the country can be obtained. Chapter 10 includes multinational books and Chapter 11 provides a listing of children's book awards. Chapter 12 is a list of organizations that "work on the behalf of international literacy and children's literature," and Chapter 13 is a list of publishers that have "an international focus or consistently include international titles on their publishing lists." The final chapter (14) includes "Sources for Foreign-Language and Bilingual Books." An author/illustrator/translator index, a title index, and a subject guide are also included. This is an excellent resource that can be used byteachers and librarians at all levels. It is easy to use and has reliable information that can be invaluable for creating diversity in literature that is provided for children.
School Library Journal
A sequel to Carl M. Tomlinson's Children's Books from Other Countries (Scarecrow, 1998). Following an overview of international children's literature, the volume features titles published in the U.S. from 1996 to 2000. Books may have originally been written in a language other than English and translated. They are arranged by broad areas such as Latin America and the Caribbean, and then by country within that region. Annotations are lengthy enough to give the flavor of the title. Complete bibliographic information and suggested grade levels are included. Resource sections include children's book awards by country, organizations (ALA is omitted, but NCTE is included), a brief list of North American publishers with an international focus, and distributors and publishers of foreign-language and bilingual books. Indexes include author/illustrator/translator, and separate listings for title and subject. The many access points to the titles listed increase the usefulness of the content. Despite some very minor omissions and organizational weaknesses (e.g., looking for England between Denmark and Finland yields no results, and there's no see reference to direct readers to United Kingdom), this is an excellent source for collection development.-Mary Lankford, Library Consultant, Austin, TX Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
