Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD)

What’s in it?

CLCD contains titles, bibliographic information, lists, and reviews of children’s literature.

Why should you use it?

CLCD allows you to search for children’s literature based on reader's age, grade, language, author, subject, interest level, reading level, genre, and many other data points. It’s a great place to search when you’re looking for a children’s book by reading level or for children’s book about a specific topic.

Who should use it?

Teachers, students training to be teachers, parents, or anyone interested in children’s books!

Why use a database?

When you use a specific database, rather than a search engine or discovery tool, you often can find more relevant sources. For example, subject databases include sources about that subject only, rather than a general search engine or discovery tool that includes information about everything. This way you don’t have to wade through thousands of irrelevant results!
