The Database of Award-Winning Children's Literarture
"The purpose of this database is to create a tailored reading list of 
quality children's literature or to find out if a book has won one of the 
indexed awards. I expect the user to be a librarian or a teacher intervening 
for a child-reader, however anyone may make use of it to find the best in 
children's literature including parents, book store personnel, and children 
and young adults themselves."
