Book Selection Criteria

Selection for the 2000 edition of Read Up On It was made with the following criteria in mind:

books published in Canada or abroad of which the author or illustrator is Canadian;
books available from bookstores, publishers or from a public library;
books in English and/or French, with due respect given to geographic distribution and multi-cultural diversity;
books appropriate for age categories covering 2 to 16 years;
books from the following categories: fiction, non-fiction and picturebooks; and
books in which the quality of text and illustration is evident, as well as the quality of the text in relation to the illustrations.

The definition of "Music" as a theme was as follows:

books that help us discover the universe of music: from classical to jazz to rock;
fiction and non-fiction books in which musical instruments appear;
books in which music takes many forms, including biographies, tales and historical narratives; and
texts and illustrations featuring musical notes and/or poetry.

This selection of books was compiled by Céline Gendron and Daniel St-Hilaire, Canadian Children's Literature Service, National Library of Canada.

The National Library of Canada thanks the following people for their assistance: Evelyn Algar, Paul Beauséjour, Rachel Gagnon, Céline Gendron, Donna-Lyn Kent, Suzanne Leblond, Suzanne Lucier, Brenda Muir, Mel Simoneau, Daniel St-Hilaire and Sylvie Tardif.
