- Discusses the kinds of critical methods used in examining literature to teach readers how to select appropriate children’s books.
- Includes extensive coverage of literature written by authors from a variety of cultures and shows how multicultural literature demonstrates the universality of human experience, human motivations, and emotions.
- Contains material on reading aloud to children, emphasizing its importance as a key element in children's reading. Questions at the beginning of each chapter encourage readers to think critically about material they are about to read, requiring students to analyze terms or ideas they may think they understand well.
- Chapter 1 defines and describes literature and its effects upon readers and Chapter 2 describes the many genres of literature for children.
- References to the “touchstone” of children's literature, Charlotte's Web, throughout the text helps students understand critical distinctions by using the context of a familiar, much-loved book.
