A searchable, sortable list of all the stories, authors and illustrators in the Best of Children’s Books series. Enjoy!
Despite being sold through a book club, the Best In Children’s Books volumes are not in fact true book club editions, since many of the stories and illustrations appeared for the first (and sometimes only) time in this format.
