  Michele Landsberg explores the bewildering array of children's books on the market and aims to help the reader choose the best. By analyzing such themes as picture books, humour, fantasy, adventure and books for teenagers, she shows how books can enhance the lives of all children of all ages and tackles the issues of sexual, racial and social stereotypes in children's literature and how to deal with them. Finally, the book ends with a treasury of hundreds of what she considers the best books for children from all over the world.
