Elementary Children's Literature, 4e by Nancy A. Anderson, gives pre-service teachers of elementary, early childhood, and special education students—plus media specialists and parents of children aged infancy through 13—a comprehensive look at children's literature in general plus information about hundreds of today's best books in children's literature. Organized around genres; written in a conversational tone; and packed with teaching strategies, technology applications, authoritative coverage of multicultural literature, and many instructional tie-ins, the book helps teachers and parents apply their knowledge of literature to help children grow in their language and reading abilities.
