Abstract | This paper examines the ways in which old age is characterized in children's literature. Two studies and several specific examples indicate that children are given a limited, stereotyped conception of old age in the books that they read. It is concluded that a need exists for more children's books that present old age in a positive manner, that describe aging in its various dimensions, and that show young people that youth and old age are related aspects of the human condition.
