Children's Literature

Children’s Literature is the annual of the Children’s Literature Association, which is an organization formed to encourage serious scholarship and research in children’s literature. We seek to publish theoretically based articles that address a significant problem and demonstrate an awareness of key issues and criticism in children’s literature. Articles are reviewed blind by outside readers, and most articles undergo several revisions before final publication. We publish full-length articles (20-30pp), Varia pieces (8-10pp), book reviews, and abstracts of dissertations of note. Volume 27 includes an index to Volumes 1-25.

Volumes of Children’s Literature are provided annually to members of the Children’s Literature Association. For membership information, please contact:
