Every child is entranced by the magic of story, regardless of
national boundaries. Many of the most memorable childhood stories
have their origins in other countries. Exposing children to this
multi-national body of literature introduces them to the great
diversity of people and cultures that populate the world at a young
age, enabling them to become more thoughtful and generous
individuals. Children's Books from Other Countries is a complete
and current guide to international children's literature. The
concept of a bibliography of international children's literature is
not new. In the past, many books have accomplished this task. The
last two decades, however, have not yet produced a current
reference source devoted to international children's books.
Children's Books from Other Countries wonderfully rectifies this
lack of attention. An introductory essay provides an overview of
the field including a discussion on the rationale of sharing
international books with children, a brief history of the
children's literature movement, related books and awards, and basic
information about the International Board on Books for Young People
(IBBY) and its American branch, the United States Board on Books
for Young People (USBBY). An annotated bibliography contains over
700 titles from 29 different countries printed between 1950 and
1996. All titles are available in English; many have been
translated and others have originated in other English-speaking
countries. The titles are organized by genre and have been selected
for their high quality. They are primarily targeted for children
ages 0-14, although a few outstanding young adult titles are
included. Winners of the Mildred Batchelder Award and the Hans
Christian Andersen Medal are listed in the appendix. Indexes
include Author-Title Index, Country of Origin Index, and Subject
Index. Affordable and readable, this timely resource is certainly a
"must" for librarians and teachers, and other professionals working
with children. Sponsored by the United State
