• Sommario/riassunto: Children's literature mirrors changes in society, and books singled out for recognition reflect the standards and different interests of awards committees. This reference is a guide to American children's books that won awards between 1995 and 1999. Included are more than 750 alphabetically arranged entries for authors, titles, characters, and settings related to nearly 250 books. The volume demonstrates the growing number of multicultural works and novels about nontraditional families, while it also shows the continuing importance of historical fiction and the waning appeal of traditional adventure novels.
