Literature and the Child
LITERATURE AND THE CHILD, 7th Edition, covers the two major topical areas of children's literature--the genres of children's literature (picture books, folklore, etc.) and the use of children's literature in the classroom. Deliberately concise, the book offers succinct yet beautifully written and illustrated discussions that reflect the tone and feel of children's books. Featuring discussions of the latest works of children's literature, the text includes coverage of the growing importance of young adult literature as well as expanded emphasis on upper-level children's literature and adolescent literature. The authors pay careful attention to diversity in children's literature and equip students with practical, research-based teaching ideas.

Children's Voices
Designed to show teachers how to create environments that will encourage literate talk, not discourage it, this book discusses ways to organize classrooms that will support the sharing of books in the same way that book-loving families share books. The book builds on the interwoven nature of language, suggesting that by talking about books, children deepen their reading comprehension; by telling and listening to stories, they develop skills in communication and ideas for writing; and by dramatizing favorite scenes, they make personal connections to literature that spark continued reading and exploration. After an introduction by Bernice E. Cullinan, chapters in the book are: (1) "Enriching Oral Language with Literature" (Sheila M. Fitzgerald); (2) "Storytelling" (Bob Barton); (3)"Creative Drama and Language Arts" (Sam Leaton Sebesta); (4) "'It's Really Special Because You Get to Think': Talking about Literature" (Julie E. Wollman-Bonilla); and (5) "Literature Circles: Hearing Children's Voices" (Kathy G. Short and Charlene Klassen). A citation index, a children's book author index, and a children's book title index are attached. (RS)
