Abstract	This volume is third in a series of 10 publications intended to provide practical or trend-oriented information related to serving children and youth with mental retardation, autism, and other developmental disabilities. Chapter 1 discusses the history of characters with mental retardation or developmental disabilities in children's literature. Chapter 2 highlights the positive portrayal of characters with mental retardation or developmental disabilities in quality children's literature. Current trends and values are discussed, as well as general aspects of quality literature and illustrations in children's books. Chapter 3 discusses strategies for using children's books that include characters with mental retardation or developmental disabilities, including concept infusion and guided discussion techniques. The rest of the book includes appendices with annotated bibliographies of fictional picture books and fictional chapter books, activities for using children's literature including characters with mental retardation or developmental disabilities, and an explanation of the Dolly Gray Children's Literature Award. Annotated bibliographies include information on the content regarding mental retardation or developmental disabilities and content regarding other curricular areas. Each book is rated in its quality.
