Thanks to Gerald for goading me into looking more
carefully at the Advanced Search section and
experimenting. Up to now I've only used that to
quickly search the collection for a specific title or
books by a specific author, but now--I still don't
understand how Jake gets his list of newest books from
there. I was able to get a list of all books in
English, sorted by "publication date" or title, but
not the newest ones. Anyway, I'm content to let Jake
keep that list. 

I did ascertain, however, that you can obtain a list
of children's books in English--or books of any other
category in any specific language by following this
procedure:

In Advanced Search, select the language you want your
book list in; choose the quality, if you care; leave
the check mark in All categories and then put a check
mark in the category of Children's Books (or any other
category yo want a list for). Then click on Search. I
find it at the bottom of the page but for you i might
be elsewhere.

There are 2,857 children's books in English, 2,888
altogether. The only  problem with the category is
that it is a large one, including picture books and
books for older grades such as Island of the Blue
Dolphins (in both Spanish and English)--books up to
grades 6, maybe even 7 & 8.

For a shortcut to a list of children's books in
English, try the tiny URL below. I tested it and it
does work, though you have to wait a minute or two for
the list to load.

Thank you again, Gerald.

P.S. Does anyone know when Gustavo will be returning?
