Description: Children's Literature: an issues approach is a unique teaching tool that shows teachers and others who work with children how to use children's books to teach about important social and personal issues. In the process of examining these issues as reflected in children's literature, the reader is shown how to develop in students critical reading, thinking, and evaluating skills. Responsible decision making, a growing concern of curriculum revisionists, is stressed throughout.
