Children's literature : [an honors thesis (HONRS 499)]

The purpose of this creative project was manifold. (1) The writer loved children and writing, and could think of no better way to become involved with them than to write a book for children. (2) This project also fit well with the writer’s academic work. With a major in Elementary Education and an English minor, she saw an opportunity to apply things learned in both areas. (3) Since a creative project was a requirement for graduation on the Honors Program, the writer felt that her project should be something she truly would enjoy doing.She felt that children's reading material has a great effect in the shaping of their values, and is therefore an important field. This also places a certain responsibility on the author of children’s books to make sure that they are suitable for young readers.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
