By EVERETT FOSTER, Librarian CHILDREN'S BOOKS A child wants to belong and be a part of a group. Soon he finds himself with his playmates in the surrounding neighborhood and then in school. In all these activities he wants to be an accepted member. In children's literature too we find stories that show this group relationship. There are stories about the family, school and the neighborhood.

In the lower grades there are the "Betsy" and Eddie" books by Carolyn Haywood that depict family and school For the intermediate grades there are books by Beverly Cleary such as Henry Huggins, "Otis Spofford" and others. These show happy normal group experiences. there are books about children who are, not accepted and who try to be liked by the people whose acceptance they long for. Some of these books are: "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett; "Heidi" by Johanna Spyri; "Peachtree Mildred Lawrence; and "Santiago" by Ann Nolan Clark. In "Cinderella" we find an example of a child who wins a respected place in a group.

For individuals in minority groups there is often a struggle to win a place in the community or on a Stories that.illus- trate this are: "Ladycake Farm" by Mabel Leigh Hunt; "Call Me Charlie" by Jesse Jackson and books by John Tunis. From his family a child gets to know and realize the affectionate relationships towards each member. Books that show this family relationship are: "Caddie Woodlawn" by Carol Brink; J'Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott; "The Saturdays" by Elizabeth "All-offt-Kind-Family" by Sydney Taylor and all the books written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. There are also stories of pets 'who show devotion to' their own kind and for their human masters. illustrated in "Lassie Come Home" by Eric Knight and "Silver Chief, Dog of the North" by Jack O'Brien.

Books about heroes and doers become favorites of children. These may begin with books "Red Bantam" by Louise Fatio. This book shows how Red Bantam proves that one can be smaU in size but great in heart. Another is "Angus and the Ducks" by Marjorle Flack. Later on in the intermediate and upper grades children will turn to biographies.

Today there are many well written booki on biography which will satisfy child's hunger for achievement.
