Ooo, children's books! I'd start by going through lists of nominees and winners for the various children's book awards - Newbery and Caldecott, for example - and looking at the past several years of ALA's Notable Children's Books Lists. (The current list is here: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alsc/awardsgrants/notalists/ncb/index.cfm )
At work we typically read reviews in magazines like Booklist and check reviews online at sites like Books in Print, but both of those require subscriptions - although you may have access through your school. I also read reviews on Amazon because it doesn't matter how great literary critics think the book is if the average joe hates it. ;)
