La voleuse de chat : La coupable présumée serait une frêle adolescente mesurant 1, 40 m et pesant 40 kilos environ. Elle aurait de longs cheveux noirs et serait vêtue d''une simple robe noire. Sur les enregistrements d''une caméra de surveillance, on peut voir une personne suspecte, correspondant à ce signalement, qui libère les animaux de leurs cages et s''enfuit avec eux, en empruntant la sortie de secours. Les témoins ont décrit une personne de petite taille, son visage dissimulé par une cagoule noire, qui quittait les lieux en laissant derrière elle une traînée d''étincelles.

Children''s literature continues to receive growing scholarly attention, and this is due, in part, to the increased awareness of the complexity of these works and their importance in the curriculum. While some books may become classics and continue to be read long after their publication, others are the product of contemporary society and reflect the changing values of modern American culture. So, too, those titles that have been singled out for recognition reveal the standards of awards committees. This reference is a guide to works of American children''s fiction that have won awards between 1995 and 1999. Some of the books were published before that period, and thus their recent recognition affirms their enduring value. Included are more than 750 alphabetically arranged entries for authors, titles, characters, and settings related to nearly 250 books. Entries for novels provide plot summaries and critical commentary, while those for authors give biographical information. The volume demonstrates the growing number of multicultural novels and books about nontraditional families, while it also shows the continuing importance of historical fiction and the waning appeal of traditional adventure novels. While the volume will be valuable to librarians and teachers and to scholars of children''s literature, it will also be useful to anyone interested in these works as a commentary on American culture at the close of the twentieth century.
