Lois Lenski and the Battle between Fact and Fiction.

Koplowitz, Bradford

Journal of Youth Services in Libraries, v5 n1 p95-103 Fall 1991

Discussion of Lois Lenski's children's books focuses on the realism that predominates in her work through the use of real-life observation as opposed to imagination alone. Ways to use her work as part of a whole language approach to teach reading as well as science, geography, and social studies are suggested. (23 references) (LRW)
