Leading article: quality and assessment of children’s literature for children’s

Abstract

Taking as a starting point the words of Cerrillo & Cañamares (2008) and those of Patte (2008) on the need to offer some adequate and worthy of reading literature for children, we analyse several works for children. Accordingly, a comparative review of some texts is provided to emphasise those aspects that can help us to distinguish a quality work from a poor one to set up an ideal children's library. Finally, some concluding remarks on the importance of choosing quality children's literature are provided.
