Why does it not surprise me that on a list like this, there are more books by men than by women?
You know, I will never get used to that in children’s literature. I expect it everywhere else.
Interesting also, that of the four books by women, three of them were published prior to 1960. It seems strange to me that in the intervening 47 years only ONE woman has written a book that deserves to be on this list. Particularly when there are so many more books published today, and by women, too, fancy that! But, like Kelly, I’m not surprised.

There you girls go again. Why is it that my beskirted pals, on seeing a list that’s clearly labelled Next Hot Man in Children’s Literature, have to get all in an uproar?
I guess it’s that you radical feminist types just can’t think straight when you see pictures of studly writers.
