Children's Books from and about Other Countries.
Tomlinson, Carl M.
Journal of Children's Literature, v25 n1 p8-17 Spr 1999
Presents background information about the field of international children's literature globally and nationally in hopes of encouraging those who work with children to investigate this rich body of literature. Discusses how international stories teach children about their peers in other lands, because they bring the people, history, and traditions of these countries to life and counteract stereotypes. (SC)
