Canadian Children's Literature

From the beginning to 2000

This site is under construction.

I love children's literature. I love Canadian literature. I also love lists. I love reading lists; I love making lists; I love building hierarchies of lists. Websites are a beautiful way of embedding one list within another, so when the topic is Canadian children's literature, I am in heaven. So I thought I would share my joy with the greater world (that's you).

The fundamental intent of this website is to build a list of Canadian children's literature up to the year 2000. (I needed to cut it off somewhere.) I am attempting to be comprehensive, so if you know of titles I have not included, please leave a comment to let me know. That being said, please forgive the dearth of information: I have only just begun.
