What
is it? |
It's the UK children's books website, set
up in 1997 to "become an informative, reliable and thought-provoking
website covering the children's books market in the UK."

says... |
a site you can't miss if you are interested in children's
books. It was PaperTigers' first introduction to the British children's
book world, and it is still the first place to check out for news
and witty comments. In the past few months, the coverage has extended
beyond the UK borders, and now there are correspondents from different
parts of the world.

Tell
me more
|
- News, tells you absolutely everything that's going
on in the UK children's books world, from book launches to behind-the-scenes
events. This section also offers some coverage of events in
other countries;
- Profiles is the 'who's who' of children's books authors
published in the UK, with biographical information, bibliographies,
and comprehensive lists of where and when authors were featured
in different media (this section is password protected);
- Interviews with authors, are particularly interesting
because the interviewer (also the founder, writer, editor, designer,
webmaster, and factotum of the website) has not only read every
young readers' book in circulation, but also often notices references
in the plots or characters that haven't occurred to the authors!
