There are incredible numbers of Internet sites related to children's books. Here are only a few:

Visit my blog for a list of kidlit bloggers.

This website seeks to promote literacy and creativity by introducing young readers, parents, teachers, and librarians to the work of “real, live” children’s authors.

The Children’s Book Council (CBC) is a non-profit trade organization dedicated to encouraging literacy and the use and enjoyment of children's books

http://scbwi.org

A Web site of interest to those of you who write and/or illustrate children’s books or think you might like to. It includes information on regional workshops and conferences.

http://whitebarnpress.com

This isn't actually a site dealing with children's literature.  Instead, it deals with writing resources for teachers and provides students with an audience for their writing.

A site of links and lists of books.

http://www.sharyn.org

Sharyn November edits children's books for a major publisher.  Her website includes links to children's publishers and libraries with child-oriented pages.

Go to the bottom of the screen for "Reviews of Books for Youth." If you go to their "Booklist Editors' Choice" section, you will find a subsection under 1997, 96, etc, entitled Adult Books for Young Adults, which may interest older readers.

The homepage for a book review journal for school and public librarians.

This is just what it says it is--a site of links to author and illustrator home pages.
