Praise & Reviews

"The organization is user-friendly and allows for a broad range of uses delineating between ages/grades. Illustrations offer insight into identified books, while book covers support readers in recognizing titles. Lastly, a ‘challenging perspectives’ section focuses on controversy surrounding the books mentioned. The teaching features include a sampling and introduction into some books with grade levels for their intended use. Curriculum connections address how to use the books to address the Common Core Standards."
    —Joanne Allen, Librarian/Enrichment Teacher, Enosburg Elementary Library

"Both a textbook and a reference book...valuable as a source of teaching ideas and of suggestions for books that you can use in your classroom teaching."
    —Dr. Kelly Wissman, Associate Professor of Literacy Teaching & Learning, State University of New York at Albany
