-- Jill Hughes, Casper College Anderson clearly has extensive experience, and has read sensitively and well. I’m impressed with the many practical and useable teaching ideas. These ideas are particularly helpful because Anderson clearly has a broad and varied experience as a teacher, and she makes it clear that the ideas are based on this experience. Elementary Children’s Literature is practical and wise. It’s clearly and concisely written, presents useful discussions of genres and specific texts in these genres, and suggests a variety of ways to share literature with children. Comments showed that these boxes really gave them “something to think about and helped them generate ideas for how to use books in their classrooms.” Those who responded said that this book would be one they’d keep for future reference. in each chapter.
