Children's Literature Lesson PlansThis is a growing list of children's literature lesson plans and resources from around the world, along with age-appropriate activities and other ideas to go along with these stories.

In this day and age, global travel and global communications require that we and our children have an appreciation of people from different countries and cultures especially, but also a knowledge of the countries from whence they come. At
