Here, for those who are interested, is a small collection of children's literature links. I've included most of the usual suspects-- Milne, Baum, Travers, Carroll-- plus a few others I either like myself or thought would be of interest to visitors. For even more, visit the Internet School Library Media Center's big Index of Children's and Young Adults' Authors & Illustrators
