The Horn Book Magazine is considered by many as the “bible” of children’s literature. Published bi-monthly since 1924, each issue features articles, reviews, and features about current happenings in children’s literature, while also providing a historical perspective. The Horn Book Guide to Children’s Young Adult Books is released semi-annually and features reviews of hard-cover releases from the previous six months. This week on Picture This! we’ll examine some of the latest reviews from the The Horn Book Guide to Children’s Young Adult Books and see what we can discover that can impact our writing.
