This review is from: Using Picture Storybooks to Teach Literary Devices: Recommended Books for Children and Young Adults
Volume Two (Using Picture Books to Teach) (Paperback)
Although this is a great guide, most of the books are no longer in print. Had I known I couldn't buy the books I would have gotten volume II instead.

Picture Storybooks in the Classroom, January 1, 2001

This review is from: Using Picture Storybooks to Teach Literary Devices: Recommended Books for Children and Young Adults
Volume Two (Using Picture Books to Teach) (Paperback)
Susan Hall defines literary devices clearly and gives examples. The real power of this book however, is the resources listed and the easy to use layout. Teachers who are teaching at any grade level can find short, easy to read books that can teach hard to explain literary devices in a single class period. This is great for teaching youngsters, or a great introduction for older students who will be encountering a particular device in a longer book. Picture storybooks are wonderful literature these days and should be encouraged at all levels. This book should be in every school's professional library. I'd love to see a follow-up with more recent titles, and a resource of popular children's chapter books that could be used in conjunction with picture storybooks.
