Children's Literature Collection

Purpose

  1. Supply examples of noteworthy children's books for comparison and study. These should include, but are not limited to, books on the following lists:
    • Newbery award
    • Caldecott award
    • ALA notable books
  2. Supply Elementary Education majors with books for projects in the Children's Literature and Adolescent Literature courses. Faculty input should be solicited.
  3. While we are happy that many juvenile readers benefit from the children's literature collection, parents should be aware that the collection is primarily a resource for University education students. Not all books in the collection are suitable for children.
