I can assure you, Nancy, that fact checking in children's nonfiction is no t a "thing of the past." We do not have the fact checking departments that , say, The New Yorker uses. But the books I know of are read by an editor, a copy editor and a proof reader, as well -- often -- by one or more expe rts in the field. Some errors slip through all of those careful reads -- but not because we neglect our responsibility to look for them.
