Reviews

Kaaland draws us into the magical and transformative power of children’s literature with this thought-provoking, practical, and, yes, joyous handbook for K–8 educators. Kaaland invites us to explore the amazingly diverse genres and formats of children’s books and inspires us with her recommended lists of titles that children will actually want to read. If you care about motivating children to become lifelong readers, you will want to read this book. * Barbara K. Stripling, Former President of AASL and the American Library Association; Retired school librarian, library administrator, and library professor, USA * This book thoughtfully and systematically explores all the nuances of children’s literature in a straightforward manner; perfect for school librarians and instructors of children’s literature alike! * Jennifer Sturge, Director of School Library Endorsement, Antioch University Seattle, USA * For the school library supervisor—purchase one for every school librarian in your district. For a school librarian—use with your teachers to increase student interest in books and reading. For school librarians and teachers—create materials to send home for parents and caregivers about books and reading with their children. For school librarians who need to answer the question, ""How can I get my wonderful story published?""—the answer is here. * Dr. Blanche Woolls, Professor Emerita, San Jose State University, USA *
