As part of the on-going effort to provide the most comprehensive coverage of children's and young adult literature, The Children's Literature Comprehensive Database is pleased to announce the inclusion of Children's Bookwatch, a part of the Midwest Book Review, as a new review source in the database.

"With its focus on small press publications, The Midwest Book Review's Children's Bookwatch broadens the scope of coverage for our subscribers," states Marilyn Courtot, President of CLCD. These reviews cover books, audio books, DVDs, and bilingual titles. CLCD subscribers already have access to thirty-eight professional review resources and the addition of Children's Bookwatch helps CLCD fulfill its mission - to provide reliable one search access to all important and relevant information about PreK-12 media of all types, including reviews from respected publications for those professionals who work with PreK-12 media. Being able to rely on quickly accessible information makes working with vast amounts of data easy for professionals, educators, and parents striving to make informed decisions on purchasing materials or doing research about literature for young people.

The Midwest Book Review, established in 1976, is an organization of volunteers committed to promoting literacy, library usage, and small press publishing. It publishes monthly book publications specifically designed for community and academic librarians, booksellers, and the general reading public.
