Why Children Should Read the Classics.

Winfield, Evelyn T.

PTA Today, v11 n6 p26-27 Apr 1986

Good literature stimulates thinking; evokes ideas, creates mental images, and engages the emotions. A classic is simply a literary work that has endured over time, has universal meaning, and explores the human condition. Classic books children enjoy are suggested. (MT)
