Description
Book SynopsisThe Phoenix Award of The Children's Literature Association annually honors a children's book first published twenty years earlier that deserves special recognition for its literary merit.
Trade ReviewThe opportunity to hear about the genesis of each work and to see into the mind and feelings of its author is a particularly strong and effective aspect of this book. The essays about other works by the award-winning authors are useful in extending the context and characteristics of each author and offer a wider perspective...graceful and insightful. * Children's Literature Association Quarterly *
The multiple perspectives of the authors and academics combine to provide valuable insights for anyone interested in the critical study of children's literature...Libraries owning the previous volumes will certainly want this one; libraries without the previous volumes might consider buying all three. * School Library Journal *
This is a fascinating evaluation and promotion of high quality in writing for children. * School Librarian *
