The National Council for the Social Studies and the Children's Book Council publish an annual bibliography highlighting books from the field of Social Studies that are written for children in grades K-12.  Up until 1998, this award was known as the "Notable Children's Trade Books in the Field of Social Studies" award.

Please note: When this award was first presented, the listing gave the publication date.  This date policy changed in 1994.  The listings below have been adjusted so that the year in the box title reflects the year the award was presented.
