Children's Books

[Guest]

For my course I need to give some examples of books which can be used to promote race/culture, gender, special needs, age and how I would use each book with the children. I thought The Creepy Crawly Caterpillar would be an ideal one for perhaps special needs but am stuck on the others, have had a look in my book club brochure but cannot find any titles.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks
