About this title

Review:

'My students give the book a big thumbs-up because of the reproducibles and appendices, as well as the step-by-step help and suggestions for children's literature in the chapters. . . . It seems to be the one textbook that most of my students keep for future use.' --Diane C. Youngs, Indiana University South Bend
