This compact and conversationally-written book focuses on children's literature genres. Excellent for those encouraging young readers, it includes four highly personal booklists for each genre chapter. An accompanying CD-ROM with user-friendly programming lists more than 15,000 titles searchable by author, title, illustrator, publisher, copyright, grade level, genre, topics, description, awards, or user comments. This exceptional resource for choosing children's literature allows readers to create their own library of children's book titles. The 4-color illustration guide gives readers a variety of illustrative styles, and helpful appendices provide additional resources for exploring magazines and audiovisuals. This book highlights the authors' â best picks,â letting readers know what literature children particularly enjoy. It comprehensively covers books and their content, describing the meaning of a â goodâ book, categories of children's literature, fantasy, fiction, biography, informational books, picture books, poetry, multicultural and international books, and controversial books. In section three, the classroom is explored; it shows the best ways to build a children's library. An excellent resource for educators of young children, this book can also serve as a personal guide for parents who wish to build a child-friendly collection of books.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Unlike most children's literature texts--which offer a comprehensive, in- depth study of all available background information--this book sheds light on the actual literature itself and its interaction with children. It is a companion volume, to be used in conjunction with children's literature, that provides a practical framework and background information while keeping the spotlight on the literary works themselves.
