Children's Books in Children's Hands: An Introduction to Their Literature (Book Alone) - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

Children's Books in Children's Hands offers a comprehensive approach to teaching children's literature by providing appropriate depth, and using full-color illustrations from outstanding children's books. Unlike books that simply describe a great many children's books, this book takes the reader inside the workings of children's literature, focusing on ways literature elicits responses from young readers, genre by genre and book by book. The book also provides a full range of thoughtful and practical suggestions for sharing and exploring literature with children. Thus, there is a natural connection between the presentation and exploration of good books for children (including more than 2,000 annotations), and the rich repertoire of reader-response- based techniques. This connection prepares the reader not only to choose good literary works for children, but to understand their dynamics and be able to engage young readers in them. Elementary educators, and parents.
