[The layout is] most pleasing and accessible.' - Joanna Moxham, course director for BA QTS undergraduate ITT course 'Di Duncan's book, Teaching Children's Literature, is outstanding in respect of its scholarship and depth of research, yet presented in an accessible way, with an array of practical suggestions and useful contacts. Di Duncan is to be congratulated on producing such a wonderful book.' -- Denis Hayes, University of Plymouth, UK 'What a superb resource. As a primary school teacher I can honestly say that this book is exactly what teaching should be all about. The creative and inspiring ideas and activities bring each of the well chosen texts to life. Teaching Children's Literature is a reminder that Literacy lessons can be fun, rewarding and taught in this way will most definitely enable our children to achieve the highest of goals. To have written a book that perfectly meets the needs of teachers who want to introduce or extend the use of drama within the curriculum is a fantastic achievement.' - David Allen, Deputy Head, Nascot Wood Junior School
