[ISLMA-Share] Picture books with Gender Bias

[Holtz, Alan C. (BMS)]

Ed Young’s Seven Blind Mice has the first 6 mice as males, but the last mouse that figures it out is female. Imagine if the genders were reversed…

Sincerely,

Alan, Librarian serving Brooks Middle School

Subject: [ISLMA-Share] Picture books with Gender Bias

I'm drawing a blank this morning.  One of my teachers asked me for examples of picture books that show gender bias.  I can immediately think of trends (no girls in dinosaur stories, no glitter on "boy" books), but I'm having a hard time coming up with actual titles.  Any books spring to mind right away?  I'm much better coming up with books that defy the stereotypes.
