Product Description
This compact guide, based on the acclaimed Continuum Encyclopedia of Children's Literature ("The most comprehensive basic reference book on children's literature currently available" - Library Journal), is for all parents, teachers, grandparents - any grownup - looking for the perfect book for a child, or the classroom. The emphasis is on contemporary children's authors and artists. The Grownups' Guide to Children's Literature is made up of some 400 biographical entries as well as subject articles such as "African American Literature," "Death," "The Disabled in Children's Literature," "The Graphic Novel," "How-to Books," and more. Among the individuals profiled are Judy Blume, Gwendolyn Brooks, Roald Dahl, Tomie dePaola, Dr. Seuss, Paula Fox, James Cross Giblin, Ezra Jack Keats, Raffi , J. K. Rowling, Richard Scarry, Maurice Sendak, Paul Zindel, and many others. Unlike The Continuum Encyclopedia of Children's Literature, this Grownups' Guide excludes lists of secondary works and further works within respective entries. In their place is an index of significant title references as well as sanctioned library and other approved reading lists. The Grownups' Guide to Children's Literature tells you everything *you* need to know about the books your children are (or will be) reading!
