Abstract	Teacher educators are often searching for methods and/or techniques to enhance and expand the content of their courses. As teacher educators, we do not want to introduce new methodology that detracts our students' attention away from the course content. However, we need to keep our courses current and interesting for ourselves as well as for our students. Several teacher educators at one institution have begun including service-learning projects into their preservice and inservice teachers' courses as a way to augment the standard curriculum. The focus of this study is to illustrate how service-learning was incorporated into the existing children's literature course and share the five cooperative projects that resulted from this integration.
