From Cover to Cover

Product Description

From Cover to Cover is a fresh, up-to-date look at some of the best examples of children’s literature today, 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.

In addition to a brief introduction that clearly explains how children’s books evolve from manuscripts into bound books, and a simple explanation of the importance of the many different parts of a book (jaket flaps, title page, copyright, Cataloging-in-Publication information, etc.), the author demonstrates how to think about and critically eveluete several different genres of children’s books.
