Review
“Tales for Little Rebels anthologizes 75 years of radical children’s literature. It’s a rousing, relevant chronicle of teaching kids about social and environmental justice, civil rights, and their power to challenge the status quo.” -Julie Hanus,The Utne Reader“A ribald, witty, sometimes fun, sometimes thoughtful examination of a wide swath of too little-known literature.“ -www.schoollibrary.com“Financial behemoths have been nationalized. There are even rumors of universal health care. Socialism is on the march! As we leave capitalism behind, the traditionalists among you may be wondering: Will they come for our children? Too late. As Mickenberg and Nel document in Tales for Little Rebels, Marxist principles have been dripping steadily into the minds of American youth for more than a century. . . . As America backs cautiously away from its laissez-faire disasters and reluctantly into an unfamiliar, communal style of politics, some of us may find ourselves wishing we had been scared with such rhymes in kindergarten instead of having had to live through them as adults.” -The New York Times Book Review“Tales for Little Rebels is indeed a timely collection and one that serves as an excellent touchstone for future research into a ‘usable past’ for contemporary academics.” -Children's Literature Association Quarterly“As an educator, I share the belief that all of the authors in this collection must also have held as truth: that children are indeed the future, and to bring about social change, one needs to begin by changing the hearts and minds of children... I believe lovers of social/political history and inquiring minds in general, [sic] would find this collection appealing.”-Style Substance Soul“This book reveals a unique, vibrant, imaginative, and energetic left-wing tradition of writing for young people. It is an invaluable resource for progressive educators and hopefully will inspire teachers to write and even publish their own children’s books dealing with sensitive political and social issues.”-Rethinking Schools Online"Children's literature with timeless philosophy for grown-ups."-Maria Popova ,Brainpicking“Julia Mickenburg and Philip Nel have edited a collection of children’s literature that represents the left-wing-oriented, oppositional tradition in children’s literature in the United States. And a lovely collection it is!... Mickenburg and Nel have done all of us —parents, activists, writers—a service by providing examples of what has been done. The task remains to carry this forward.”-Science & Society“Mickenberg and Nel have switched on the power of radical children’s literature to maximum wattage, revealing a rich, compelling tradition that deserves our attention. Creating an archive that will have authority and endurance, they have recovered stories encouraging children to engage with social, economic, and environment challenges and to become agents of change.”-Maria Tatar,Harvard University, and author of The Annotated Hans Christian Andersen“Readers looking for the animals, sprites, and other characters common to children’s literature will find them, with a twist.”-The Chronicle Review

It got here super fast so A+ for that.This isn't a children's book. It's more like an adult book and you can read little short vignettes to the kids. And yes, it's about as radical as they come; a bit more Bolshevik socialism than I expected. I expected a bit more child-friendly literature but it's kind of like the original Grimm's fairy tales, unfiltered. So, be prepared for that.
Your children will thank you, your grandchildren will thank you, and every generation to come. Goodbye Barbie Goes to Disneyland, and whatever junk the kids are reading right now, read your children literature that will make them laugh while it makes them think! Joyful, thought-provoking, meaningful, downright silly, hints of a message here or there, or outright anarchy, why not? Wake 'em up from Barney and My Little Pony and show them what fun it can be to really read! The illustrations are a joy, the stories are timeless and will follow your family throughout generations to come.
Great book. Definitely for older kid readers, but also good for grownups.
The stories were interesting and the editor's notes showed how relevant these mostly out of print stories are to today's issues. A great resource and entertaining book for children of all ages.
I was a little disappointed in the content of this book. I was looking for information that younger students could relate to while studying Eastern Europe post WWII. There is a little of that, but it overlaps with stories about civil rights, women's rights, and migrant workers to name a few.
TALES FOR LITTLE REBELS: A COLLECTION OF RADICAL CHILDREN'S LITERATURE took me by surprise, twice. At first, I thought the book was going to be filled with funny cartoons and stuff like that...but when I got it, it was knee-deep with analysis. Thinking I made a mistake, and flashing back on my college years, I begrudgingly forced myself to start reading.And what I found was my second surprise: it was interesting! Yes there was some semiotics involved, but the editors Julia L. Mickenberg and Philip Nel did an excellent job of compiling the book and explaining things in simple to understand language.It's broken down by themes, i.e. rebellion, organization, justice etc., and each theme has an introduction that helps the reader understand what was going on at the time when these stories were published. This is followed by information regarding the author and illustrator of the piece (if known), followed by the actual story.All of the works are from the 20th century and many are taken from Socialist, Marxist and Communist papers or books. Likewise, many of the writers and illustrators were part of either the Communist or Socialist movements and many turned to children's stories because those stories weren't heavily scrutinized by the censors. And for many it was the only job they could find after being blacklisted during the McCarthy era.The editors did a fair job in presenting the reasons many of these authors and illustrators/artists turned to Socialism etc. because of a reaction toward unfair labor practices and living conditions that affected adults and children alike.Stories consist of either cartoons, comics, text-only stories, and stories with photos (that seemed to be from school books), and were taken from a variety of sources, so there's a pretty broad mix here. And some stories are quite obvious in their propagandist tone, while others are very subtle.There are also stories about the environment, race relations, gender equality and peace.Would I recommend this book to kids? Not necessarily. But I would suggest that parents get it, read it, and then read the stories to their children. As the editors pointed out in the introduction that the purpose for collecting and re-printing many of these stories is not to influence young minds to either side of the coin, but to help them begin to critically analyze the world around them.With so much going on in our world today, young people could use all the help they can get.
This fascinating book looks at politics and history through selections from children's literature. The pieces include poems, comic strips, stories and excerpts from schoolbooks, many illustrated with black and white illustrations. The book focuses on writing for children that includes left-leaning political ideology. Some of the writing espouses socialism; other pieces are about equality of the races and sexes. Much is very clunky and weighted down with obvious social meaning. Other pieces soar. Dr. Seuss's The Sneetches, about "star-bellied sneetches, the best on the beaches" and "plain-bellied sneetches, with no stars upon thars" is a classic tale of bigotry. Included here is the original Redbook magazine version of The Sneetches, before it was a book.Tales for Little Rebels is not a book for children, although smart teenagers will appreciate it. It's a scholarly look at how politics shows up in children's literature.The 43 mostly out-of-print selections each have an introduction and biography of the author.Here's the chapter list:Part One: R is for Rebel1.
