Children's Literature, Briefly (5th Edition) 5th Edition

I bought this book because it was required for a class. It is certainly the best textbooks I have ever read! The writing is clear and interesting. Really, the book is worth it just for the lists of children's literature is provides. It is certainly one that I will refer back to again and again.

This book was used as part of a children's lit class I took. The detailed examples of the various categories surrounding children's literature were detail oriented and at the end of each chapter a list of recommended children's books was provided which was a useful tool when writing teaching plans.

This was a required book fit a university children's lit class. It is SO good! It is well written and a goldmine of information if you love children's literature and want to be well read

This book is being used for a graduate course I am taking. I feel that this would be a very informative book for undergraduate work as an introductory course, but not so much for graduate work. It is a nice survey of children's literature and works well as a piece of reference material, due to the many book lists of quality children's literature. However, I have found other books to be of greater value when searching for new information and research about teaching children to read and write.

This was a required book for my Children's Literature class. I have to say that it was one I truly enjoyed. The chapters are short and to the point! A real plus for over-worked college students!

This is an interesting textbook considering it's a textbook. The chapters are short, sweet, and informative. I liked the fact that this textbook found a way to get the point across without all the unnecessary "fluff" today's textbooks tend to have.

This is an excellent, well-written book that presents the material in a very creative, entertaining manner. I have enjoyed reading it even though it is a text book.

Needed it for a Children's Literature class in college, and it was in decent condition when it arrived. I got a lot of work done with this book this semester.
