Understanding & Dism Antling Privilege
. Reading in the Dark: Whiteness and Racial Representation in Caldecott Books Inclusion Terry Husband Illinois State University Alice Lee Illinois State University Abstract Teachers often choose books for their classroom libraries on the basis of an award or special recognition a particular book has received. In this vein, the Caldecott Medal is one of the most highly esteemed recognitions bestowed on children's picture books each year in the United States. Relatively few studies have examined how race is represented among main characters in Caldecott books. Using a Critical Content Analysis (CCA), we examine how race is represented among atrix Center of the and Social Equity Advancement for atrix Center main characters in 80 Caldecott books from 1938 to 2017. Findings indicate that an overwhelmingly disproportionate percentage of the he M he characters are White. In addition, the non-White main characters are portrayed in very narrow roles. Implications for teachers to consider and T when using these books are discussed. Keywords: race, privilege, white supremacy, education Privilege Conference Privilege Terry Husband is an associate professor of early childhood literacy in the School of Teaching and Learning at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. He has written several articles, book chapters, and books related to literacy development in African American boys in P–5 he White White he classrooms, critical literacies in early childhood classrooms, and analyzing and implementing multicultural children's literature in early childhood and elementary classrooms. Alice Lee is an assistant professor of elementary literacy education in the School of Teaching and Learning at Illinois State University. -
The Caldecott Medal 2021
Caldecott Medal Books oppl.org/kids-lists The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children. It is given to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book published the preceding year. The name of Randolph Caldecott, an English illustrator of books for children, was chosen for the medal because his work best represented the “joyousness of picture books as well as their beauty.” The horseman on the medal is taken from one of Caldecott’s illustrations for “The Diverting History of John Gilpin” (1878). The medal was originally donated by publisher Frederic G. Melcher (1879–1963), and is now donated by his son, Daniel. 1939 Mei Li Handforth 1972 One Fine Day Hogrogian 1940 Abraham Lincoln d’Aulaire 1973 The Funny Little Woman Lent 1941 They Were Strong and Good Lawson 1974 Duffy and the Devil Zemach 1942 Make Way for Ducklings McCloskey 1975 Arrow to the Sun McDermott 1943 The Little House Burton 1976 Why Mosquitoes Buzz in 1944 Many Moons Slobodkin People’s Ears Dillon 1945 Prayer for a Child Jones 1977 Ashanti to Zulu: 1946 The Rooster Crows Petersham African Traditions Dillon 1947 The Little Island Weisgard 1978 Noah’s Ark Spier 1948 White Snow, Bright Snow Duvoisin 1979 Girl Who Loved Wild Horses Goble 1949 The Big Snow Hader 1980 Ox-Cart Man Cooney 1950 Song of the Swallows Politi 1981 Fables Lobel 1951 The Egg Tree Milhous 1982 Jumanji Van Allsburg 1952 Finders Keepers Mordvinoff 1983 Shadow Brown 1953 The Biggest Bear Ward 1984 The Glorious Flight Provensen 1954 Madeline’s Rescue -

Summary: Civil Mock Trial of B
(INSERT NAME OF COURT) Judge (INSERT NAME OF JUDGE) (INSERT MONTH, YEAR) Summary: Civil MoCk Trial of B. B. Wolf versus Three Little Pigs ProsecutioN: B. B. Wolf accuses the Three Little Pigs of assault, conspiracy, aiding and abetting (assisting or encouraging), and slander. He says they tricked him into falling into their pot of boiling water to cook him into Wolf Soup. The pigs say he wanted to eat them, but admit they tried to eat him. They bully him, saying all wolves are big and bad, no matter how small or good they are. Their flimsy houses fell when he sneezed due to allergies when he went over to invite them to his party. DefeNse: The Three Little Pigs argue they were defending themselves from B. B., who destroyed two of their homes and broke into the third to eat them. They say B.B. didn’t visit to invite them to his party to be his guests; he wanted them to be his lunch. They learned early that all wolves are big and bad and that all look alike, so they can’t tell them apart. The defense argues B. B.’s favorite foods are all made of pig, including pig’s feet, bacon, and pork rinds; and doubt he has allergies. WitNess for ProseCutioN: Snacky Pig says B. B. tried to eat her for a snack, minutes after she was born. That is why they call her “Snacky.” On cross-examination, however, she admits her eyes were still closed, and she didn’t see the wolf. -
Poetry the Three Little Pigs by Dahl
“THE THREE LITTLE PIGS” by Raold Dahl The animal I really dig Above all others is the pig. Pigs are noble. Pigs are clever, Pigs are courteous. However, Now and then, to break this rule, One meets a pig who is a fool. What, for example, would you say If strolling through the woods one day, Right there in front of you you saw A pig who’d built his house of STRAW! The Wolf who saw it licked his lips, And said, “That pig has had his chips.” “Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” “No, no, by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!” “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” The little pig began to pray, But Wolfie blew his house away. He shouted, “Bacon, pork and ham! Oh, what a lucky Wolf I am!” And though he ate the pig quite fast, He carefully kept the tail till last. Wolf wandered on, a trifle bloated. Surprise, surprise, for soon he noted Another little house for pigs, And this one had been built of TWIGS! “Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” “No, no, by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!” “Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!” The Wolf said, “Okay, here we go!” He then began to blow and blow. The little pig began to squeal. He cried, “Oh, Wolf, you’ve had one meal! Why can’t we talk and make a deal?” The Wolf replied, “Not on your nelly!” And soon the pig was in his belly. -

He wears an old, tan farmer’s hat and ripped trousers. He has a red bag on a stick which he carries everywhere he goes. Inside the bag is a coat, just for when it rains. He is bald and very chubby with smooth pink skin. He smells of trees because he loves to play in the woods. Big Glasses (Dave) looks cool and fresh.

Literature and Literacy
Literature and Literacy Roselmina Indrisano Boston University School of Education © 2008 Roselmina Indrisano 2 Introduction This annotated bibliography includes fifty books in the narrative genre that were selected for young readers. Each book or author is the recipient of one or more of the following awards: Caldecott and Newbery Awards, the American Library Association Notable Book Award, and the Coretta Scott King Award. The books are appropriate for readers in the first through sixth grades, with an approximately even distribution among the levels. Each entry in the bibliography includes: the complete reference; the level, as determined by The Fountas-Pinnell Leveled Book List K-8 (Heinneman, 2006) or the Fry Readability Formula (Fry, 1977); the awards; and three teaching ideas that are coded to selected standards in the Massachusetts English Language Arts Frameworks . A list of these standards is provided on page 52. In the few instances where the language and the structure of the text are more complex than the concepts, there is a note in the annotation to suggest that the book is suitable for reading aloud to younger learners. One of the teaching ideas for each book focuses on poetry. The number in parentheses that follows refers to the poetry anthology where the poem is published. The list of poetry anthologies is on pages 53-54. The author acknowledges, with gratitude, the assistance of Irene Papadopoulos Duros and Christine Leighton. Ms. Papadopoulos Duros reviewed the manuscript and computed the Fry readability formula for books that were not entered on the Fountas-Pinnell list. Ms. Leighton reviewed and summarized the literature on children’s reading interests that informed the selection of the books. -

Reader's Theater Script for the True Story of the 3 Little Pigs
*READER’S THEATER SCRIPT * Characters: Wolf, Officer #1, Officer #2, Officer #3, Narrator #1, Narrator #2, Narrator #3, Narrator #4, Second Pig, Third Pig, Reporter #1, and Reporter #2 Scene 1 Wolf: Everybody knows the story of the Three Little Pigs. Or at least they think they do. But I'll let you in on a little secret. Nobody knows the real story, because nobody has ever heard my side of the story. Officer #1: Name? Wolf: I'm the wolf. Alexander T. Wolf. You can call me Al. I don't know how this whole Big Bad Wolf thing got started, but it's all wrong. Officer #2: I see. And what makes you so sure? Wolf: Maybe it's because of our diet. Hey, it's not my fault wolves eat cute little animals like bunnies, sheep and pigs. That's just the way we are. Officer #3: Can we stick to the story, please? Wolf: If cheeseburgers were cute, folks would probably think you were Big and Bad, too. But like I was saying, the whole Big Bad Wolf thing is wrong. The real story is about a sneeze and a cup of sugar. 1 Scene 2 Narrator #1: Way back in Once Upon a Time time, A. Wolf was making a birthday cake for his dear old granny. Wolf: I had a terrible sneezing cold. Narrator # 2: He ran out of sugar. Wolf: So I walked down the street to ask my neighbor for a cup of sugar. Narrator #3: Now this neighbor was a pig.
