1 CHILDREN’S BOOK CRITIQUE Bayley Savage

2 INTASC STANDARD PAGE Standard #5: Application of Content The teacher understands how to connect concepts and use differing perspectives to engage learners in critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem solving related to authentic local and global issues. Name of Artifact: Children’s Book Critique Date: March 1, 2015 Course: EDUC 255-Multicultural Education Brief Description: For this assignment, we were to choose three children’s books. We were to write a summary, positives, negatives, illustrations, and characters. We were then to state why the books we chose were considered multicultural. Rationale: I have chosen standard number five, application of content, because we were to connect our books to our schemas of multicultural education. These books touch each of us a different way then what they would touch somebody else. These books involve children to use empathy, critical thinking, and learn about global history issues.

5 Positive Vs Negative Positives the book shows not everyone is made the same We all have different characteristics We all have different stories Negatives I do not believe there is a negative to this children’s book

6 Characters This book is made up of both male and female characters. It does not favor one more than the other. Pictures This book has some great pictures that were very detailed to the different types of friends we can have.

8 Why is this multicultural…. This book is the definition of a multicultural book. It talks about the differences between children. It does not choose one gender over another, it does not choice one race over another, and that book is all equal. It definitely shows that not one person is made the same and this is something that children need to learn at a young age.

10 Summary… This story is about child who is living with two moms. The others judge because she has two mom and not a mom and a dad. Throughout the story the girl’s moms’ teach her that different doesn’t mean wrong. They also teach her to have family doesn’t mean it has to be like everyone else’s family. The couple is raising three children, Asian, African American and White.

11 Positive VS Negative Positives This is a story about a topic that is very popular today, same sex couples. It embraces that families do not always have a mom and a dad but can have two moms or two dads. Negatives This story can be a very touchy subject for a lot of readers. Can be touchy for religious readers.

12 Characters This book focuses a lot on the women characters. It is about two female moms and their daughter. There is more characters involved such as male characters, but main focus is female. Illustrations This book has some very detailed pictures. They are not afraid to put what is in society today.

14 Why is this multicultural…. This is multicultural because it shows the diversity within families. With our students not all children’s families are going to be the same. This book justifys that by showing children with not have the typical everyday family, such as a mom, dad, brothers, and sisters. The family in this book has two moms and different races of children. This is another good multicultural book.

16 Summary… This book is for younger kids to give them an idea of what the Holocaust was. In the story animals of the same kind are being taken away by the terrible things, but other kinds are just turning their heads because it wasn’t their kind. In the story it gives a moral lesson of it we all worked together, instead of against each other great things can happen.

17 Positive VS Negative Positives This books gives great lessons and a great analogy of how the Holocaust was. It breaks down the Holocaust using animals and terms that children can understand. Negatives Very serious reading and should not be taken lightly.

18 Characters The characters in this book were animals. They were categorized by color, so the point of the Holocaust was received. Illustrations The illustrations in the book are very dark and depressing. This is to give the dramatic effect, to show the Holocaust was not a joke.

20 Why is this multicultural… This is multicultural because it talks about an event in history that affected a certain kind of people. This event happened because of who they were. In society today everyone is equal and we have to know that with our students. This event is one that should be acknowledge in our classroom to show how far society has come, and to show what can happen if we treat each other with respect, and that it is ok to be different.
