Newbery Medal and Honor books, Coretta Scott King and John Steptoe winners, and
Schneider Family Book Award winners. Kids Zone also lists books in popular series
such as the Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Redwall Abbey, and Swallows and
Amazons. Other features include information on children's magazines and a link to
the Library of Congress Kids and Families web site.
