I agree with another reviewer that too many authors/titles are omitted, like the gruffalo books, thomas the tank books, etc. Very disappointing. I would have returned it if I did not have it shipped internationally.

This book may have been updated, but I don’t know about the “revised” part. I was disappointed to find that this edition contained the same and similar inaccuracies as the prior editions. For example, _Weetzie Bat_ is a wonderful book. But its sequels are, in order, _Witch Baby_, _Cherokee Bat and the Goat *Guys*_ (not Boys!), _Missing Angel Juan_, and _Baby Be-bop_. I expect better things from the New York Times children’s book editor–not sloppy errors.
I’m glad this book exists, and it does contain much valuable information, and it is well-organized. But perfect it is not.

Now is 2005, so this book is four years old. I wanted to write an updated review here to let anyone who is considering a copy of this volume that I think it would be worth it to pick up a used copy for five bucks or so. Obviously, it doesn’t include anything that’s been published in the last four years, so in that sense, it’s utility can be limiting, but most of the books that are reviewed are still in print. One of the book’s features that I appreciated the most was that it includes a bibliography of wordless books, and unlike other such lists I have found, most of the books are actually in print and I don’t have to try to order a copy from some small press overseas.
Another thing I’ve used this book for is for suggestions for birthday presents for my nieces. Since they’re not the same age as my kids, I’m not as familar with what they might be ready to read.
