Since 1964 Books for Children has been published by the Children's Literature Center in the Library of Congress for parents, teachers,
librarians, and those interested in the best of this country's current children's literature.

HOW SELECTIONS ARE MADE

The editor and an advisory committee of children's book specialists meet on an average of once a month during the year to examine newly
published titles-nearly four thousand hardcover and paperbound books in 1994-to choose those they consider to be most noteworthy.

Selection criteria have remained constant over the years. Quality of plot, theme, style, pace, characterization, and setting is essential
for any story to be satisfying. In addition, for the picture-story book, the art-and its harmony with the text-is vital. For nonfiction books, accuracy, organization, timeliness, and clarity of presentation as well as quality of writing and illustration need to be evaluated.

WHAT IS SELECTED AND FOR WHOM

The selected books run the gamut from rhymes, concepts, and picture stories to adventure, fantasy, natural history, biography, and science.
Books are chosen for readers from the toddler stage to the teenage years. Some are to be read aloud; some are for instruction, some are
for fun, some are to be borrowed from a school or public library or bought as gifts. All were chosen with the intent of stimulating the
imaginations of children and adults alike.
