Children's Literature Briefly Chapter 15

Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Saddle River NJ: Prentice Hall, 2008.

After reading Chapter 15 about Multicultural and International Books, I found it informative that these types of books offer positive experiences to young readers. It was also interesting to see how multicultural books have evolved from books about races to books now that includes races, cultural groups and religious groups. You must avoid books that have racial or cultural stereotyping, since these books offer a very biased point of view.
