The 10 Values of Children’s Literature (Clarkson, 1969)

Children's literature affords delight and a sense of wonder.

It extends the imaginative power of childhood.It develops the child's appreciation of beauty.It contributes to the growth of a more

compassionate human being.It opens to the wonderland of words and ways

of using them.It offers a vast storehouse of information.It contributes to art appreciation.It has the potential for raising the self-concept

of a child who has a poor picture of himself.It forms a foundation for more difficult

adolescent novels, poems and drama.It gives a heroic image to childhood.
