What
do childhood studies experts say about....?
In this
new CCCS web series childhood studies faculty share their
knowledge and expertise as they discuss various topics related
to their work with children.
The first topic
is READING. Some faculty
members have agreed to share with us how they make
reading an important part of their families' routine and
we have posted a collection of annotated
bibliographies of
multicultural children's books.

MULTICULTURAL
BOOKS FOR CHILDREN  |
Thanks to a grant from the Bildner
Multicultural Fund, Dr. Carol Singley and her students
compiled four
bibliographies of multicultural children's books:
1) Multicultural Children's Literature;
2) Multicultural Folk Tales and Fairy Tales; 3) Multicultural
Fantasy Collections for elementary school children;
and 4) Multicultural Fantasy Books for middle school
children.
Some
of the books they selected are now part of the permanent
collection of the Paul Robeson Library, Rutgers-Camden,
and are available through IRIS, the on-line card catalog
system.
CCCS is proud to share
these great resources with
our online visitors.
Short summaries and links to amazon.com are provided for
each book.
