CLCD is an independent review source with reviewers that include book authors, librarians, writers and editors, teachers, and children’s literature specialists. Children’s Literature reviewers read and critically review more than 4,000 books annually. Each month Children’s Literature features interviews with children’s book authors and illustrators, and several sets of themed reviews which are archived for continued reference.
