The February 2008 issue of School Library Journal presents a listing of the 2008 USBBY Outstanding International International Books. Forty books are represented on the list and include "titles from France, Iceland, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Korea."

Angus, SLJ, 2/1/08


The full list is avaialbe from SLJ online, via AU library's Academic Search Complete database (off campus authentication required), and from SLJ in the library periodical stacks.

The following titles are featured in the 2008 list and are part of the library juvenile collection:
