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

I could be a foot model now!!!
Size: 1 pair black L
I wear work boots almost all of the time so I bought these to put on my feet with salycylic acid to moisturize and try to get rid of a stubborn corn on the ball of my foot. It helped drastically after a few nights of lounging in the house with them on.

Nail Must Have💅🏽
I didn’t know I needed a double-sided nail mat until I owned one—and now I’m emotionally attached. This thing has officially become my manicure bodyguard, standing between my nails and the chaos of real life. One side catches polish drips like a champ, the other side keeps my tools from sliding away like they’re trying to escape responsibility. No more nail polish on the table, the couch, or my soul. Clean-up is so easy it almost feels suspicious. It lays flat, stays put, and makes me feel like a professional nail tech even though I’m painting my nails while watching TV and questioning my life choices. Bonus points for being reusable, washable, and silently judging me for painting my nails “just one more coat.” Five stars for saving my furniture, my sanity, and my dignity. If you do your nails at home, this mat is the real MVP. 💅✨

As described
This was a gift for our niece. She loves to paint her nails, and we noticed similar mats at the nail salon we go to - so we got her an age appropriate nail "studio" to gift along with it. My friend thought it would be great for laying out when coloring and painting also, because its large.
