Abstract
While the first catalogue, the 2012/2013 Best Children's Books, was distributed in electronic version only, last year's version was brought out in print, as is the current volume, which is also available for discussion on the social network Facebook. Some public libraries use this catalogue to inform the public about the indispensable influence of quality reading on the constitution of a child's personality and its role in providing children with a better starting position in our advanced information age.Reaching this position, however, must also be the objective of those who strive to attract the young readers' attention.
Encouraged by the response of booksellers, parents, grandparents, as well as teachers, librarians and other professional public, we decided to produce a separate English-language version of our catalogue this year.
