An invaluable resource for professionals who wish to write book evaluations--and for all serious fans of children's literature

This revised edition of From Cover to Cover offers a fresh, up-to-date look at some of the best examples of children's literature and also includes practical advice on how to write clearly articulated, reasoned opinions so that others can learn about books they have not yet read.

A brief, updated introduction clearly explains how children's books evolve from manuscripts into bound books and the importance of the many different parts of a book (jacket flaps, title page, copyright, etc.) and changes in the children's book industry, such as the creation of two new major genre awards. In addition, the author demonstrates how to think about and critically evaluate several different genres of children's books.

Included are sections about books of information (and the author's responsibility to document sources); traditional literature (myths, legends, tall tales, folktales); poetry, verse, rhymes, and songs; picture books; easy readers and traditional books; and fiction and graphic novels. There is also a concluding chapter on how to write reviews that are both descriptive and analytical, including a segment on children's literature blogs.

Updated material includes:

-An introduction that reflects the many changes in the children's book industry

-A section on genres, including a discussion of graphic novels

-A section on children's literature blogs

-An introduction of two new major genre awards: the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award and the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award

-And more than 90% of the books cited have been updated from the first edition to more recent publications

Although it was a quality made shirt, not happy with the fit and style.
Size: X-Large, Color: Grey Stripe
Order this in an XL size for my son-in-law for Xmas. He isn't overally big, but likes the XL size for a little more roominess. After Xmas he tried it on. Although it was a quality made shirt, he wasn't happy with the fit and style. A no hassle return.

Nice shirt, Fabric is revealing
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Teal 09
Beautiful shirt. Color is lovely. The material, however does reveal any bumps, lumps, or hair you may have on your skin, even with appropriate sizing. I don't think sizing up would help. Very smooth, stretchy material. Comfortable to wear.
