“
Children’s literature is evaluated largely by experts in the field, who allegedly have standards and know what they are talking about, or non-experts whose standards are often arbitrary and claim a right to their own tastes. The lists and prizes of bestsellers indicate no more and no less that certain markets and elite groups in America have determined that particular books are worth reading, and they have successfully marketed their products.
