An Introduction to Children's Literature
by Donna E. Norton, Saundra E. Norton
This comprehensive guide is an essential resource for educators, librarians, and parents who want to deepen their understanding of children's literature and help young readers find books that resonate with them. Rather than a book for children to read, it's a professional reference that surveys the rich history of children's literature across all genres—from picture books to young adult fiction—while offering practical guidance on evaluating and selecting quality literature. With over 3,000 annotated titles, full-color illustrations from beloved children's books, and insights from renowned authors and illustrators, this book empowers adults to confidently match children with stories that will inspire a lifelong love of reading.
One of the most respected, comprehensive sources on available children's literature. Surveys the history of children' literature, explores the child's response to literature, and explains how to evaluate and select literature for children. Features unique two-part genre chapters -- one part content and one part methods. Covers artists and their illustrations, picture books, traditional literature, modern fantasy, poetry, contemporary realistic fiction, historical fiction, multicultural literature, and nonfiction (biographies and informational books). Contains illustrations from favorite full-color children's books (in their original colors), and art from real children. Features guest editorials by authors and illustrators; flashbacks of historical events, works, and people; and a section on multicultural literature in every chapter. Provides a dual-platform CD-ROM with annotated reference information on the more than 3000 children's literature titles listed in the book. For anyone interested in children's literature.
