Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II significantly impacted the lives of children who grew up during that time. From the 1940s to the present day, many novels about the second World War have been written for children and young adults, with the intent of informing young people about the tumultuous events of that period. Many of these novels feature young people as characters, and thus depict the impact of the war on children. This bibliography provides a comprehensive record of the juvenile novels of World War II. Included are annotated entries for more than 400 novels. Only juvenile novels written or translated into English are included. The entries are arranged chronologically by year, and then alphabetically by author within each chronological section. Excluded are short stories, non-fiction, and picture books. The bibliography is an accurate guide to how the second World War has been interpreted for children and adolescents, how the holocaust has been treated in juvenile literature, and how social issues such as race relations and sex roles have been discussed.

The general introduction and the annotations analyze approximately 250 stories written by American women in the 20th century. Most of the stories were written during the past two decades and reflect a reevaluation of the mother-daughter bond and its impact on women's lives. The bibliography is arranged thematically with chapters on abuse and neglect, aging, alienation, death, expectations, nurturance, and portraits. Each chapter begins with an introductory overview and collective analysis of the stories in the chapter. The volume includes author, title, and subject indexes.

Download or read book Children s Books from Other Countries written by Carl M. Tomlinson and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 1998-01-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every child is entranced by the magic of story, regardless of national boundaries. Many of the most memorable childhood stories have their origins in other countries. Exposing children to this multi-national body of literature introduces them to the great diversity of people and cultures that populate the world at a young age, enabling them to become more thoughtful and generous individuals. Children's Books from Other Countries is a complete and current guide to international children's literature. The concept of a bibliography of international children's literature is not new. In the past, many books have accomplished this task. The last two decades, however, have not yet produced a current reference source devoted to international children's books. Children's Books from Other Countries wonderfully rectifies this lack of attention. An introductory essay provides an overview of the field including a discussion on the rationale of sharing international books with children, a brief history of the children's literature movement, related books and awards, and basic information about the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) and its American branch, the United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY). An annotated bibliography contains over 700 titles from 29 different countries printed between 1950 and 1996. All titles are available in English; many have been translated and others have originated in other English-speaking countries. The titles are organized by genre and have been selected for their high quality. They are primarily targeted for children ages 0-14, although a few outstanding young adult titles are included. Winners of the Mildred Batchelder Award and the Hans Christian Andersen Medal are listed in the appendix. Indexes include Author-Title Index, Country of Origin Index, and Subject Index. Affordable and readable, this timely resource is certainly a "must" for librarians and teachers, and other professionals working with children. Sponsored by the United State
