Children's Books in Children's Hands: A Brief Introduction to Their
Literature familiarizes current and future teachers with the best
and most recent books for children. The renowned author team
presents richly illustrated, practical ideas for sharing literature
with children as a source of enjoyment and inspiration that will
last them all their lives. This authoritative, captivating, and
popular guide establishes a roadmap for understanding the world of
children's literature, including its writers, illustrators,
editors, and critics, while also providing a strong emphasis on
books from many cultural groups. The 6th Edition now includes full
color illustrations and art, newer title annotations, new teaching
ideas, coverage of shifting changes in genres, and thorough
coverage of multicultural and international books.
Much of teachers' attention these days is focused on having
students read closely to ferret out the author's intended meaning
and the devices used to convey that meaning. But we cannot forget
to guide students to have moving engagements with literature,
because they need to make strong personal connections to books of
merit if they are to become the next generation of readers:
literate people with awareness of and concern for the diversity of
human beings around them and in different times and places.
Fortunately, guiding both students' personal engagement with
literature and their close reading to appreciate the author's
message and craft are not incompatible goals. This book
enthusiastically and intelligently addresses both imperatives,
first surveying what is gained when students are immersed in
literature; then celebrating and explicating the main features of
literature students need to understand to broaden their tastes and
deepen their engagement, at the same time they meet external
standards; then presenting a host of active methods for exploring
all major genres of children's books; and finally presenting
suggestions for interdisciplinary teaching units grounded in
literature. Created by noted leaders in the fields of children's
literature and literacy, the book is enlivened by recurring
features such as suggested reading lists, issues for discussion,
links to technology, and annotations of exemplary books.
