Review: I have to echo to previous reviewers sentiment. This book in question, i.e., A Critical Handbook of Children's Literature
by Rebecca J. Lukens is an awesome guide to childrens books and authors. The font is easy on the eye and the index is very well developed. The introduction is also very well written and is not dry or dull. Highly Recommended.
