Electronic Resources: Through Sabio and Web Sites
|
From Sabio:
You can go to the Literature Resource Center to locate biographies, book reviews, and/or articles written by or about your author. (Of course not all children's book authors are represented here.)
The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) is another good bet for finding articles written by or about better known authors.
