Dear Perry Nodelman:

Thanks so much for the lead to these special issues--I'm going to look for them right away. I'm sorry to have seemed to speak as if no one had ever thought on this topic before! certainly didn't mean to. Thanks again. Martha Parravano

Not so long ago, I edited two special issues of the journal Canadian Children's Literature (numbers 86 and 87, 1997) on the topic, "What's Canadian about Children's Literature?" These issues includes a number of articles and a compendium of answers to the question by forty or so writers, editors, critics, etc. They had an intriguingly wide variety of different takes on the question.

Yrs.,
