Books for Keeps advertises itself as 'THE children's book magazine'.  Whether or not this is true, I don't know,(!) but here you can read it's latest reviews and keep tabs on new literature being published. 

One thing of interest on the site is a list of the 50 books that Booktrust found in a recent survey to be the best children's books of all time.  Interestingly 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' by C.S. Lewis came out as the Best Children’s Book of all Time.  It beat modern day classics such as Harry Potter and The Gruffalo to the top spot.

You can also request a free copy of the magazine.  They say, 'Try a copy of the magazine and read for yourself why Books for Keeps is the best independent resource about children's literature.'

I requested a copy and received two!  They do cover quite a range of articles and issues.  It costs £26.50pa.  It is very interesting, but I think I'm going to make enquiries at my local library to see if I can access copies there. 

Why don't you check it out yourself?
