Children's Literature - 4 credits
This course is an introductory study of all levels of children's literature for the student who is interested in literature, the student who is planning to teach, and for those who are or will be parents. It introduces students to types, genres, and varieties of literature for reading to children as well as reading by children. The main focus of this course will be to remember the joys and wonders of reading as a child and young adult, and to approach the literature selected not as "just a kid's book," but as literature with real quality standards and room for critical and analytical discussions.
