The Sesame Street Library--Bad Books Bring Big Bucks.

Charnes, Ruth; And Others

Young Children, v35 n2 p10-12 Jan 1980

A critique of the newly published Sesame Street Library, a set of 15 children's books. Maintains that the content of the books is sexist, racist and complicates rather than simplifies the pedagogical task. A further criticism is that the Library stoops to commercialism in an effort to further sales. (CM)
