Numbers! Colors! Alphabet: A Concept Guide to Children's Picture Books

Finding just the right book to present concepts to children is difficult. This one is more useful than traditional annotated bibliographies, because it focuses on each book's concepts, rather than its subjects. It's also easier to use than lesson plan books, because it lists dozens of titles that use a given concept, not just one or two. The book covers titles that include numbers, time, measurement, language, the body, and more. Works with literature-based approaches as well as multiple intelligence theory. Includes bibliographic information and age-level suggestions for each title.

• Find age-appropriate titles for teaching both concrete and abstract concepts such as shapes, colors, same/different, real/pretend, emotions, and change
• Ideal for library media specialists, classroom teachers, special topics teachers, and parents to enhance lessons and encourage discussion
