Book Reviews of Through the Eyes of a Child: An Introduction to Children's Literature (7th Edition)

Book Review: Children's Lit
Summary: 4 Stars

I have to agree with another review, this is a boring book; however, there is a lot of information in the book that may help you develop book lists for your classroom. Lots of resources cited and listed. The only reason I purchased this book was because of course requirements. I'll keep it on hand for future reference.

Summary of Through the Eyes of a Child: An Introduction to Children's Literature (7th Edition)

This is a fresh, new edition of one of the most widely-respected sources for introducing future teachers to the wealth of literature available to children. The sixth edition is replete with expanded coverage of key topics, numerous new features, and an enhanced focus on multicultural literature. Its unique two-part genre chapters—one part content, one part methods—once again provide everything instructors need in order to teach the core concepts and knowledge of children's literature content supported by methods to teach it. This book covers what constitutes good use of literature in the classroom and offers readers access to additional material on children's literature and teaching about literature. It covers what to look for in good literature and how to identify the best among what's available. For professionals in the field of teaching or anyone interested in children's literature.
