Literacy as Change Agent: Messages about Reading and Writing in Children's Literature.
Kuhlman, Wilma D.; Lickteig, Mary J.
Journal of Children's Literature, v24 n2 p84-93 Fall 1998
Explores recent children's books for those whose characters are moved and changed by literacy. Places the books into three categories (desire for literacy, power of literacy, and wonder of literacy) that overlap but give insight into ways to share literature with children and at the same time acknowledge common approaches to sharing the value of being literate.
