| Abstract | Children's literature is an important vehicle through which to expose students to environmental issues. Because children are curious about their surroundings, the environment supplies a perfect avenue for their learning to read, write, and make sense of their world (Kupetz and Twiest 2000). Children tend to respond better to children's books than to expository texts and are more likely to explore ideas about the environment through that type of reading (O'Brien and Stoner 1987). Of the many children's books that have environmental themes, some prove problematic because they forfeit accuracy for excitement and readability. In this article, the author examines Lynne Cherry's works on the basis of accuracy and perspective and discusses the implications of using them in an environmental education curriculum. He contends that the works of Lynne Cherry are examples of scientifically accurate children's literature that can be a successful starting point in environmental education programs. (ERIC). |
