ENGL 220: Literature for Children: Getting Started

ASK ME!!!!!

Please contact me. 

There are so many great books and other materials out there, and so many ways to find them. 

There is nothing I like more than talking with you about children's books, and saving you time finding what you need.

Seriously.

I mean it.

• And, if you need a good laugh, I say, read The Interrupting Chicken.
• If you need a good cry, I say, read Tough Boris.

What do you say?

Literature for Children presents a study of the poetry and prose available for children from preschool through junior high school. Students examine the characteristics of children's books including picture, folk, fantasy, biography, historical fiction, information books, contemporary realistic fiction, and poetry. Topics include evaluation of children's books, principles of book selection, illustrations in books, cultural diversity in children's literature, and motivating children's responses to books.
