New To This Edition
|
- New and updated examples from all genres of children's literature are included throughout the text.
- An enlarged section on censorship, citing American Library Association materials, in the Introduction to the text gives both teachers and students a thorough overview of this important topic and suggests ways to deal with censorship so that we can maintain our right to be “free to read.”
- A discussion of special concerns and problems that may arise when evaluating any piece of literature are addressed at the end of each chapter in the context of elements of imaginative narrative literature.
- A new section to the student in the introduction to the text helps students understand the text's approach and is a perfect assignment as an introduction to the course. Again, there is extensive focus on the merits of reading aloud to children.
- Updated appendices include lists of award-winning titles, children's magazines, and publications that review children's literature.
- Mentions reading levels in Appendix C, “Selected Reviewing Media for Children's Books” to help students match texts to students’ reading levels.
- Provides a new Appendix D with an enlarged list of suggested Web sites about children's literature for further student learning.
