The main problem of this research was to discover if
children's picture books over the last fifty years have de-
picted rural values more significantly than urban values.
One-hundred and one children's picture books were system-
atically chosen for analysis.
This study takes an overall view of the history of
children's literature. Also included is a review of the
current studies and literature most germain to this study.
Content analysis was used as the technique of data analysis,
A descriptive analysis of the sample is also given.
The study supports the main hypothesis that rural set,
tings and rural values do occur more often than non-rural
settings and urban values in children's picture books.
