The Notable Children's Books Committee welcomes suggestions for inclusion on our list of the year's best books for children. Members of ALSC are invited to nominate books published in 2005 for consideration by the Committee. Notable children's books are defined as: Books of especially commendable quality, books that exhibit venturesome creativity, and books of fiction, information, poetry and pictures for all age levels (through age 14) that reflect and encourage children's interests in exemplary ways. The evaluation criteria to be used are: (1) literary quality; (2) originality of text and illustration; (3) clarity and style of language; (4) excellence of illustration; (5) excellence of design and format; (6) subject matter of interest and value to children; (7) the likelihood of acceptance by children.
