5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome find for teachers of middle, secondary school,
This review is from: Worth a Thousand Words: An Annotated Guide to Picture Books for Older Readers (Paperback)
A friend recommended this book during a workshop and I rushed to look at it at the library. Unable to check it out (and better off because the library probably would NOT have gotten it back!) I bought a copy. It is indexed to give you ideas for incorporating the picture books into everyday lessons, units, themes. It can be used in ALL subjects! even math! There are even ideas for lessons/activities to incorporate the picture books as well as recommendations for tie-ins with novels, music, and other pic books! The pictographic index allows you to find the best books for teacher read-alouds, student performance, art and music units, etc. The authors are superb and though the writing is less, the content is more. These are picture books specifically for young adults and adults. They are NOT children's books. Many of them deal with sensitive and mature themes like war, family issues, social problems, etc. The pictures in many of these books are more artistic than they are "cartoony". A necessary book in every secondary student's classroom or home library!
