way they use literature in values education. This research investigated the values embodied in
childrens literature used by early childhood teachers in Israeli state schools. On the basis of
questionnaires completed by 14 early childhood educators, and analysis of the official list of
recommended childrens books published by the Israeli Ministry of Education, the value
‘‘mutual respect and friendship'' was found to be most prominent. Structural aspects of
childrens books were seen to emphasize the values the books convey
