Reviewing Children's Books: A Content Analysis.

Bishop, Kay; Van Orden, Phyllis

Library Quarterly, v68 n2 p145-82 Apr 1998

An analysis of 599 reviews of children's books from six reviewing journals for 1995-96 was compared to earlier studies, revealing great variation in adequacy of reviews. School Library Journal provided the most complete bibliographic and ordering information but no single journal supplied all the information librarians need for purchasing juvenile titles. (PEN)
