Children's Literature is a study of literature and media for children and youth from the eighteenth century to the present era. Through subject learning experiences this subject will introduce and inform students about the literary, industrial and institutional influences on children's literature over time. Topics addressed include fairy tales, animal stories, and colonial literature for children, children's films, realist and fantasy fiction for children and young adults. Deeper analysis and critical skills are required to evaluate children's literature samples.
