As part of the on-going effort to provide the most comprehensive coverage of children's and young adult literature, The Children's Literature Comprehensive Database is happy to announce the inclusion of ForeWord Reviews as a new review source in the database.

"The thoughtfully written and insightful reviews of quality children's and young adult books in ForeWord Reviews are a perfect fit with CLCD. We know our subscribers will be most pleased to have access to these reviews," states Marilyn Courtot, President of CLCD. Subscribers already have access to thirty-six professional review resources and the addition of ForeWord Reviews gives another dimension and different perspectives for meeting the critical analytical needs of professionals in every aspect of the education and library service fields. Being able to rely on quickly accessible information makes working with vast amounts of data easy for professionals, educators, and parents striving to make informed decisions on purchasing materials or doing research about literature from preK through twelfth grade.

ForeWord Reviews, a journal dedicated to reviewing independently published books, was established in 1998 and serves as the flagship periodical of booksellers, librarians, agents and publishing professionals who want to access the best from small presses. ForeWord also provides a myriad of services to publishers including international trade representation, Book of the Year Awards, fee-for-review services, and an interactive website for the book community, www.forewordreviews.com.
