They are no longer regarded as merely a legitimate part of the publishing market but as literature. Presenting a chronological survey of the most important and influential children's books, One Hundred Years of Children's Books in America: Decade by Decade is a useful guide for librarians, students, and general readers alike. Decade by Decade traces the development of children's literature in America over the past century from a social and historical point of view. Virtually everyone's favorite children's books are explored in this survey of the most beloved and memorable stories of all time. Notable authors and illustrators are profiled as well, including the much celebrated Dr. Seuss, Cynthia Voigt, Maurice Sendak, and Beverly Cleary.
