Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Integrating literature into the curriculum is a hot educational strategy today. Hurst's book makes that task tremendously easy with this collection of picture-book suggestions. In her "Themes" section, she identifies common topics such as "Desert," "Mammals," "Weather," "Families," and "Towns & Cities." Each one features a summary of a picture book, brief descriptions of suggested activities, and an annotated list of related fiction and nonfiction titles. The "Focus Books" in the second section "represent several genres and were chosen because they are outstanding works of art." Detailed descriptions of the books and illustrations are provided. Again, activities are suggested and related books are listed. The final section focuses on 25 children's authors/illustrators with brief biographies, annotated lists of their books, and accompanying activities for each. School librarians will welcome this resource.-Jessica Foster, Fairfax County Public Schools, VA
