Reviews

It's common knowledge that using stories helps both children and adults engage with subject matter and relate to what is presented. In 10 chapters, this readable text introduces a range of books and subject areas coupled with literary forms and genres aimed at elementary children. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the subject area of focus, a literature base, a bibliography, and at least two full-scale programs, one for a public library setting and one for a school venue. Additional takes on the topic act as chapter conclusions. Reading programs, art, math, food, storytelling, poetry, booktalks, literary heritage, and the power of literature to enrich and heal are all addressed. The handbook concludes with an accurate index and solid bibliography. Black line masters are included, and instructions for projects are detailed and clear. This sound professional resource will enhance programming in either the public library or the school media center. Ann Welton
