	20th-Century American Bestsellers
		The essence from which it is distilled can best be discovered in those books which generations of children have taken into their hearts and have kept alive; books which seem to have an immortality that adult books, so soon superceded by the latest best-seller, seldom attain.
		Eloise appeals to both children and adults because she is an assertive and independent female child, yet retains her sense of imagination common to most children her age.
		Eloise in many ways is the new female American who, after the settling of the west and two world wars is a far cry from the "perfect lady." The book reveals the changed attitudes towards children and the process of growing up.

	News: Will Harry Potter last as long as 'Boxcar Children'?
		In contrast Boxcar Children and Nancy Drew were writen to be an on-going series instead of being one big story told over several books.
		At Putnam Public Library, where a revolving rack of Boxcar Children books testifies to the series popularity, Tina Aubin, children's librarian, let me browse through a box of Warner memorabilia, including several of her manuscripts, written in longhand.
		Oh, I'd also like to add that other writers had better not write sequels to the books like other writers continued "The Boxcar Children" series and even Nancy Drew had various authors after the original author.

	Handbook: Chpt. 7, p.2
		At a time when experts were forecasting the death of children's attention spans, and children's book editors were telling their authors that kids won't sit still for 200-page books, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (at 734 pages) proved them wrong — with 3 million sales in one week.
		The issue of censorship and children's books is more than we have space for here (see my essay at www.trelease-on-reading.com/censor1.html), so for now, suffice it to say: With the arrival of the Potter books, violent crime is at a record 30-year low,
		Harry Potter has children willingly reading books that are eight times longer than Goosebumps and twice as long as Heidi.

	Amazon.com: Books: The Wizard of Oz (Tor Classics)
		Subjects > Children's Books > Series > Fantasy& Adventure > Oz
		Which is okay for a book that is intended purely as a children's story, but given the humor, nuance, and characterization found in the movie which was based on this story, I'd expected more; I'd expected it to be one of those "children's stories" that was still entertaining to an adult.
		I keep the book in my children's library, but my confession is that sometimes, on particularly drizzly days, I indulge myself in a satisfying re-enjoyment of this book, all by myself.

	pmg : Little Golden Books
		The first series of affordable cardboard books, and the first to be mass-marketed to children, were collectively known as Golden Books and made their first appearance roughly 50 years ago.
		The books made an immediate and lasting impression on post-war children because of one amazing fact: The children could actually afford to buy one of these books for a week's allowance.
		Since then, millions of children eagerly bought these books -- many of them ongoing classics such as the Taxi that Hurried -- and have passed them on to subsequent generations who are eagerly learning to love to read.
