About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Tim Wadham is the Children's Services Coordinator at Maricopa County Library District in Phoenix, AZ. His published works include Bringing Fantasy Alive for Children and Young Adults.
Rachel L. Wadham is the name authorities librarian/NACO Coordinator at Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. Her published works include Bringing Fantasy Alive for Children and Young Adults.
The authors state that they wrote this book to overcome what they perceive to be a "general bias against fantasy literature" and to inspire teachers and librarians to read and share this genre with children. The first section provides an overview that includes methods of evaluating and understanding the literature. The next section suggests ways to use fantasy books across the curriculum with sample lessons, booktalks, and ideas for storytimes and library programs. The appendix consists of a variety of online resources, 16 author profiles, and annotated lists of picture and chapter books with grade levels. Program ideas range from simple (playing "Simon Says" to empathize with Gail Carson Levine's "Ella") to creative dramatics (scripts included) to designing a Web page. While the authors miss the opportunity to address the controversy that links many fantasy books to the occult, they do provide a powerful rationale and lively ideas for connecting children with this genre.-Bette Ammon, Missoula Public Library, MT
