"Betsy Hearne, a children's librarian and children's book review editor, discusses children's literature and its uses, surveying everything from picture books, popup books, classics, and books for beginning readers to young adult titles, poetry, folktales, and factual books. An annotated list of recommended titles accompanies each chapter."--BOOK JACKET.
