Database of Award Winning Children's Literature

I want to share with you one of my favorite children's literature web resources. It's called Database of Award Winning Children's Literature. This database consists of almost 7,000 records of children's and young adult books that have won awards. The thing I like best about it is that you can specify what kinds of books you'd like according to certain limiters. Hence, you can compile a customized booklist according to age, historical period, geographic location, genre, ethnicity of the protagonist of the story, and so on. It is definitely the best resource I know for generating such lists. The URL is http://www.dawcl.com/search.asp
