The building of the Nordell Books Group websites over time accumulated several clumps of books & movies (on Spirit of America Bookstore
& the five companion bookstore sites) that just belonged on a Children's Department Page. So here is that page,
begun in mid-2011.
New content continues being added, and the page grew large so it was split in twain in May 2017; this section also got huge, and so was split off in late 2021.
