Talk:List of children's literature authors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a very nice list as a start. I will be adding to it from time to time, and hope to fill in some of the links. Also, it would be helpful to include authors who have won major awards for their work as well as the old traditionals. Some of both groups appear here already.
Was the intent to confine the list strictly to children's literature, or to include what is now known as young adult literature? Some of these cross over -- Twain, for instance.
I'd think "children's literature" covers pretty much everything from picture books to young adult fiction. --Damian Yerrick
Should the fact a book won an award be mentioned on this page or would it be better suited to be just mentioned on the specific book page? Sukee
- Gut feeling: let this be just a list; awards on the specific page. Quill 22:16, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)+
[edit] Flowers in the Attic is not a children's book
I'm pretty sure that Flowers in the Attic is NOT considered a children's book. If there are no objections, I'm going to remove V.C. Andrews from this list. Joyous (talk) 22:35, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jim Trelease
Shultz III, can you cite a single book Jim Trelease has written for children, with title? All of his books on his cite and in Contemporary Authors are pedagogical books for adults with edited selections of read-alouds for children. If you are going to call those children's books on the grounds that their content is to be read to children, then the question is whether an editor and compiler counts as an author -- an assertion I would disagree with.
Also, please, when you revert changes, revert only one the one you meant. You reversion of my change also deleted my fix to Jean Craighead George. Deborah-jl Talk 23:49, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chaucer is a children's lit author?
Is Geoffrey Chaucer really considered a children's author? Joyous! | Talk 16:59, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
