| Summary |
Within these pages, teachers from first grade through high school detail how they have used picture books in reading and writing classrooms, enriching the literate lives of their students. Professional writers and illustrators like Ruth Councell, Bijou LeTord, and Ann Turner provide an inside glimpse of their creative processes, while poet Georgia Heard examines the close relationship between poetry and picture books. Throughout, experts in children's literature explore the wealth of picture books for older readers and writers, from the works of Maurice Sendak and Dr. Seuss to David Macaulay and Chris Van Allsburg. --From publisher's description |
