| Annotation | Exploring intergenerational themes in children's literature, this article shared the perspective of one grandfather and the reactions of educators in response to stories of young and old. Four themes found within intergenerational children's literature were identified: (a) perceptions of grandparents' interests and personalities, (b) passing down of knowledge, (c) shared moments/adventures, and (d) perceptions of ageing. Intended as a reference point for educators as they select books depicting intergenerational themes, a question asked is, What is at the heart of the matter when it comes to children's literature depicting themes of young and old? (JL). |
