&nb sp;I'm interested in gender as portrayed in characters and wonder why no&nb sp;critics seem to have noticed how often animals are portrayed as ma le, for no particular reason. For instance, in Caldecott winner " A Sick Day for Amos McGee" and in "Bear Has a Story to Tell," every anima l character is male - just two examples. Children need to see the wor ld in both genders in order to value both equally and see both in unge ndered roles. Donna Barkman &nbs p; Donna Barkman 1 Reservoir Road Ossin ing NY 10562

Lynn Rutan mentioned men in non-traditional roles, such as nursing . I strongly concur--a wonderful subject for books for young people, and not just picture books.! I spent some time in hospital this winter and was so impressed by the male nurses.
