This course presents a brief history of children’s literature (from 620 B.C. to the present). It also deals with the different kinds of literature for kids (science fiction, historical fiction, etc.) and the books most appropriate for different ages. We will then take a poll of some of the favorite books you read when you were younger. There will also be time for fun activities and open group discussions.
