This Month's Website  |

| The Children's Book Council (CBC) <http://www.cbcbooks.org/> is the site run by a nonprofit trade association whose membership consists of U.S. publishers and packagers of trade books for children and young adults, and producers of related literacy materials. The CBC works to encourage literacy and the use and enjoyment of children's books through various multilateral activities. The most appealing section is " New Book Releases! " with children's books and short comments on each one. You can't take your eyes off the beautifully colored book covers and the comments that take you back to your childhood for a brief while. - Reiko, Dec. 19, 2003 |
