Children Choose New edition of Childrens Choices annual booklist available. The "Children's Choices for 2003" annotated booklist, the latest in the annual series compiled jointly by International Reading Association (IRA) and Children's Book Council (CBC), is now available....Over 700 books published in 2002 were evaluated by approximately 10,000 school children, ages 5-13, across the United States. Votes were tabulated earlier this year, resulting in this list of the 103 top books according to the kids who read them. Annotations were provided by the members of the regional review teams: children's literature specialists, teachers, and librarians. Lists from previous years are also available on the IRA site. Coming next month: the Young Adults' Choices and the Teachers' Choices lists for 2003.
