4-H Promotion Compendium: 4-H Novels Have a Popular History


A National Compendium of 4-H Promotion and Visibility over the Past Century


4-H Novels Have a Popular History

Perma-Link » http://4-HHistory.com/?ps=172

4-H novels and children's books may not be well known in today's 4-H; however, starting in the 1920s... and, in every decade since then, new ones have appeared. Several dozen titles are documented and at one time Miss Gertrude Warren, from the 4-H USDA office, issued a listing of "approved" 4-H juvenile literature. While current research has not uncovered this listing, many of the titles are included in the 4-H novels segment of the 4-H books and printed archives section of the National 4-H History Preservation website.

Here is a short list of some of the titles:
