Abstract

Presents a content analysis of Caldecott winners from 1958 to 1997. Finds that images of females, minorities, and the aged have changed to present less biased, stereotypical views of persons in those groups than in the past. Notes that the winners do not provide an accurate mirror of children in America or of their society. (RS)
