Abstract
The campaign for scientific literacy has utilized the avenues of children's and young people's literature quite effectively. It should be noted that because such publications are elementary in their conception and literary style, they are attractive to adults with a limited reading ability as well; thus their reading audience extends beyond only young people.20 As discussed previously in the consideration of Little Red Guards, some children's publications have sections devoted to science and scientific knowledge and other publications have scientific themes woven into their situations, but the major purveyor of scientific information in the field of children's literature is the popular science reader, a book devoted completely to scientific material. The contents of such science readers explain natural phenomena, attempt to dispel myths, convey a sense of national scientific self-reliance to the user, and encourage scientific experimentation and inquiry.
