The Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) is a gathering place for ideas, books and expertise in children's and young adult literature. Now thats from the CCBC's website. They are also located in WI down in Madison and they are known as a expert in choosing great literature and children's books. Every year they come up with a huge list of great reads!
