School Integration in Children's Literature

Madison, John

Integrated Education, 16, 3, 10-1, May-Jun 78

Three children's books which deal with the theme of school integration are reviewed. Though these books attempt to address the issue in a positive way, the treatment of such a complex social problem as school integration is naive and underlying racist attitudes are present. Librarians, educators, and parents need to critically review their children's books. (GC)
