CIED 3133: Children's Literature: Historical Fiction

Resources for educators who use children's literature with elementary and middle schoolers.

How Do I Find Historical Fiction?

To see if the library has a book, you can go to the OSU Library Catalog online and put the title or subject into the search box. Once you have done a search, you can narrow your results by using the options on the left side of the screen.

In the ETL, Historical Fiction can be found in the jE or jF sections. Historical Fiction is fiction that is set in a particular time in the past and it includes elements of that time period in the characters' interactions with each other.

The ETL has many bibliographies of different genres and subjects available for you to use if you need a suggested title.

Your textbook also has lists of high-quality children's books. You can search the catalog to see if the ETL has a title you need.
