Abstract

Most curriculum materials centers have children's literature in their collections. Some of these collections include historical trade books; others attempt to collect the newest offerings in a variety of formats. In this chapter, the history, current practices, and future of the children's literature collection in curriculum materials centers and its use by preservice teachers and teacher educators are discussed.
