The Three Owls: A Book About Children's Books, Their Authors, Artists and Critics is a foundational work in the field of children's literature and criticism. Written by the pioneering librarian and critic Anne Carroll Moore, this collection explores the vibrant landscape of books for young readers during the early 20th century. Moore provides insightful commentary on the creative processes of authors and illustrators, offering a professional yet passionate perspective on what constitutes quality in storytelling and visual art for children.

The work serves as an essential guide for educators, librarians, and parents, categorizing and evaluating the literature of its time with a keen eye for artistic integrity and child-centric appeal. By discussing the roles of critics, artists, and writers, Moore underscores the importance of fostering a rich literary environment for the next generation. This volume captures a transformative era in publishing, where children's books began to be recognized as a serious and sophisticated art form.
