The Notable Australian Children's Books site listed in my Notable Children's Books directory now includes the 2008 list. While the 2008 list of children's books recognized by the Children's Book Council of Australia is not annotated, it is an extensive list. The booklist is divided into five helpful categories: Older Readers, Younger Readers, Early Childhood, Picture Books, and Information Books. For an annotated list of recommended books for your child, I recommend the annual Notable Children's Books List compiled each year by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC)/American Library Association (ALA).
