- 6. The 10 Values of Children’s Literature (Clarkson, 1969) Children's literature affords delight and a sense of wonder. It extends the imaginative power of childhood. It develops the child's appreciation of beauty. It contributes to the growth of a more compassionate human being. It opens to the wonderland of words and ways of using them. It offers a vast storehouse of information. It contributes to art appreciation. It has the potential for raising the self-concept of a child who has a poor picture of himself. It forms a foundation for more difficult adolescent novels, poems and drama. It gives a heroic image to childhood. http://lovealibrarian.blogspot.com
