Our results also show that awareness of the gendered messaging in books is be a predictor of parent’s counter-stereotypical book choice (Study 3). This has important implications for theories of children’s gender socialisation, through a lens of social cognitive theory (Bussey & Bandura, 1999). Parents who demonstrate awareness of gendered messaging of children’s books may ‘permit’ more diverse non-stereotype conforming book selections, which can serve to challenge and resist some of the gender stereotypes that children are exposed to in other arenas (Mulvey & Killen, 2015). Therefore, the ways in which parents make decisions about whether to select a gender stereotype (non)conforming book to their children is useful to understand. Our results should also be interpreted in the context of our chosen sample. Our core research question in Study 3 was investigating the factors that affect (counter-) stereotypical book selection, in the context of a mother selecting a book to read to her daughter. Most of our participants in this study were mothers, which contextualises some of the findings. Research has shown, for example, that generally fathers have more traditional views about gender (Apparala et al., 2003; Kollmayer et al., 2018). However, work also suggests that there are no differences in mothers’ and fathers’ endorsement of gender stereotypes in toy selection (Fisher-Thompson, 1993) and activities (Lytton & Romney, 1991). Moreover, research should also test this in relation to boys whose experiences when learning about gender likely differ from girls. Additionally, the Mr. Men/Little Miss collection is an apt sample for this kind of work, as the characters are clearly gendered in a binary way and have a high level of consistency in the narratives. While this is arguably a methodological strength, future research is needed to test how well these findings apply to a broader range of children’s books. Another classic from Hargreaves as I now have ten books to go to complete the series. It has been very enjoyable, and this is no exception, a great time to be had for all readers. I wonder if Alex will like or dislike being brainy. These things keep me awake at night. Little Miss Hug is the 35th book in the Little Miss series.
