Managing Information News: "Faced with research showing that a majority of American children hold negative views about the elderly, the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) has teamed with George Washington University's Center on Aging, Health & Humanities to develop a reading list of children's books that counter negative stereotypes about aging and the elderly.
ALSC, a division of the American Library Association (ALA), compiled the new list, which was then evaluated by more than 200 librarians, specialists and consumers of various ages: http://www.gwumc.edu/cahh/booklist/booklist_20041110.pdf.
The 91 titles, published as recently as 2002 and as far back as 1976, are geared for children pre-K through Grade 6."
