| Summary | "Literature for Children" by Orton Lowe is a guidebook written in the early 20th century. This work aims to address the challenge of guiding children toward choosing and appreciating quality literature in an age overloaded with inferior reading materials. The book emphasizes the importance of cultivating a love for great books among children to foster their intellectual and emotional development. The opening of the book presents a preface that outlines Lowe's intentions and beliefs regarding children's literature and education. He discusses the necessity for educators and parents to steer children toward literature that nurtures the imagination and moral character, rather than merely providing practical information. Lowe hints at the various challenges—such as a preference for sensationalist or shallow reading material—that teachers must navigate to instill a lasting appreciation for classic literature in young readers. He emphasizes a blend of poetic learning, story memorization, and the joy of reading aloud as key practices to engage children and enrich their reading experiences.
