Extractions: English 260, Children's Literature, acquaints Elementary Education majors and Child Development and Family Relations majors with a wide spectrum of modern children's literature, introduces bibliographical and research tools as a foundation for further study, and presents a series of teaching methods suitable for introducing literature to children. Because an enthusiastic response to reading precedes learning to read, early childhood and elementary teachers must cultivate this enthusiasm in their students. In order to do this, teachers must be familiar with a number of good children's books representing all genres and know what other supporting literature is available; how and where to find them and how to evaluate them. In today's world, a teacher must be familiar, not only with literature of his/her own culture, but also of cultures world wide. In addition, teachers need a solid repertoire of ideas and methods for introducing literature in a language arts context that incorporates complementary interdisciplinary materials and experiences. Research shows that good, enthusiastic readers perform better academically and enjoy the psychosocial advantages of good literature as they mature, thus enriching their lives in a variety of ways.

Extractions: NOTE: not a children's magazine) This work was last updated on May 14, 2002. This list started as my own personal favorites, but others have kindly contributed and so it has grown (and will hopefully keep growing). I'd appreciate help in approximating age ranges on these titles, plus any other titles I should include by the same or other authors. Please don't send me titles unless you think they are excellent books that you would eagerly recommend to your little brother or sister. :-) This is not meant to be an exhaustive list merely a sampling of the best available. Thank you! NOTE: I've recently added introductory annotations to the books I've actually read. I'd appreciate the same for the others feel free to send me them. The list has gotten long enough that I think it needs them. You may also want to check out Jed Hartman's list while it's not sf/f focused, it's an excellent annotated list of children's books, with a fair number of sf/f pieces in there. Engdahl, Silvia Louise

Along the way, he chats in a comedy-show cod-Italian ("I'm a starving. I could eata a horse") that, from an author without the right credentials, might well cause offence. The Renaissance swagger of Rui Paes's fine artwork deserves a much better text. As you might expect, it's howlingly egotistical, with concern for others' need a route to personal gratification rather than a virtue in itself. You could argue that Madonna naked - and true to a certain ideal of liberation and empowerment - made far more moral sense than Madonna in the costume-box nun's habit of her children's books. Even worse, these trite homilies devalue the currency of the fairy-tale. All the darkness, danger and delirium of this tradition (which, in recent years, has excited writers such as Angela Carter and A S Byatt) is washed away in a tide of schmaltz. At least we have an antidote to hand.
