Synopsis
This book has been tailored for students - in English, education, or library science courses - who may never have studied the subject. This book does not attempt to catalogue children's literature. Nor does it name every important book. Rather, as an introduction, it presents a balanced selection of books with enough explanation for each example to interest students in literature they may not yet have read. "Introduction to Children's Literature" comprises two major sections. Part One is a survey of genres: picture books, Mother Goose and concept books, poetry, traditional literature, fantasy, contemporary realism, historical fiction, biography, and informational books. These chapters contain criteria for evaluating books in each genre. Part Two suggests practical strategies for bringing books and children together. Case studies in these chapters help to illustrate how to choose and present books, understand and enhance children's responses, organize books into units, and organize units into year-long programs of literature. Back-of-the-book features include lists of prizewinning books, a list of children's book publishers with data on what they publish, and a full subject-title-author index.

Introduction to Children's Literature
Seller: Don's Book Store, Albuquerque, NM, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. 736 Pages Indexed. Some underlining on less than 25 pages, most of which is in the index, contents page and the first couple of chapters. Otherwise straight and very tight, little used book. A study of children's literature properly begins with reading the books. But how does one begin, when there are so many? Each year, hundreds of new titles are added to the thousands already in print. It is a bewildering array, and students new to the subject will welcome an introductory text that guides and orders their study. Here they will find help in selecting books to read, assistance in classifying them for study, criteria for their evaluation, and more. For students who intend to share literature with children, knowing how to select, classify, and evaluate books is only the beginning of study. Learning ways to present literature to youngsters is the next important consideration. In Introduction to Children's Literature, students will discover an unusually rich source of methods, fully developed through illustrations and examples. A successful text for children's literature is one that both informs about the books and inspires the reading of them. Among books for children are some of the best of all books; experiencing them is to be delighted, inspired, enlightened. The authors of Introduction to Children's Literature know this, and, along with quantities of useful information, they are able to convey a sense of the potential for pleasure to be found in children's literature by students of all ages.
