In "Children's Literature in the Elementary School" Charlotte S. Huck advances the view that exposing children to good quality children's literature is a vital element of successful school reading programs. Books for children should be 1) works of high literary quality, 2) useful in the curriculum, and 3) appeal to the young reader. Volumes that address this subject have traditionally been tasked with meeting a wide variety of objectives in higher education: if adopted by education departments methodological matters are stressed; under the school of library science bibliography is the object; and under the English department textual analysis is emphasized. This text is sufficiently broad as to adapt itself to any one of these approaches, and should serve as a valuable guide for teachers, librarians, and elementary educators in any capacity.
