《书目》(Booklist)书评

The Cooperative Children's Book Center at the University of Wisconsin^-Madison has always played a leading role in the push for quality children's books by and about people of color and for the inclusion of multicultural literature in the mainstream. This second volume of its annotated bibliography includes more than 350 books published in the U.S. between 1991 and 1996. Beginning with books for babies and toddlers, the entries are arranged under 16 genres--concept books, picture books, poetry, etc.--and appendixes list authors and illustrators by name and by ethnic and cultural group and also provide further access by subject. The annotations are clear and enthusiastic. The general introduction gives a brief historical overview of how things have changed since the 1980s. An essential resource. --Hazel Rochman
