Population and Children's Literature

Voelker, Alan M.

Journal of Environmental Education, 6, 3, 57-64, 75

Recognizing a need for population education at the elementary level, the author surveyed 200 children's books to determine their appropriateness to the population problems of today. Overall results indicated very few books concerned with population problems and a need for emphasis on man's relationship to these problems in future literature. (MA)
