The Horn Book Guide

The Horn Book Guide rates and concisely reviews over 2,000 titles in each semiannual issue — virtually every children's and young adult book published in the United States in a six-month period. Five indispensable indexes, including an extensive subject index, make the Guide a peerless resource for librarians, classroom teachers, booksellers, and professors of children's literature. We also produce The Horn Book Guide Online, which offers instant access to a searchable database of over 70,000 book reviews from 1989 to the present. The Guide Online is updated quarterly and available by subscription.
