Picture Books Plus
By:"Sue McCleaf Nespeca","Joan B. Reeve"
Published on 2003 by American Library Association
The idea of literature extension--using hands-on projects from math, science, music, drama, and art to expand on literary works--is an increasingly popular teaching method (with national initiatives sprouting up from Vermont Center for the Book and the Minneapolis Children's Museum in partnerships with ALA's Office of Public Programs and ALSC). It's an innovative concept, though, and there are few resources that show children's librarians, teachers, and early childhood educators how to make these activities effective learning experiences, while promoting a love of books in young readers.

Children's Books in England
By:"Frederick Joseph Harvey Darton"
Published on 2011-11-03 by Cambridge University Press
From fables to fairy tales, romances to nursery rhymes, this highly influential 1932 study analyses the evolution of children's literature. Publisher and writer F. J. Harvey Darton (1878-1936) draws upon his family's involvement in children's publishing since the late eighteenth century, his knowledge of medieval literature, and his own extensive collection of children's books to present the first account of English children's literature seen as a continuous whole. Setting children's books in their historical context, the work reflects much about the history of English social life as well as providing an in-depth perspective on the genre - in the author's words 'a chronicle of the English people in their capacity of parents, guardians and educators of children'. A classic and authoritative study for anyone interested in the history of children's literature, Darton's book remains an invaluable source of information on the genre.

You'll follow the development of sequential art storytelling - from caveman wall paintings to modern manga and cinematic techniques. Here you will explore comics in all forms: those flimsy pamphlets we call comic books; thick graphic novels; Japanese manga; and blockbuster movies featuring epic battles between good and evil. But behind it all, you'll discover how comics are an intellectual property business, the real money found in licensed bedsheets and fast-food merchandise, heart-pounding theme park rides and collectible toys, video games, and Hollywood extravaganza featuring such popular superheroes as Spider-Man, Superman, X-Men, and Batman.
