Children's Literature Basics

Sylvia Vardell uses the idea of past, present, and future as a way of looking at and discussing childhood and books. Discussing the various stages, from helping children learn about the world and how it works, developing relationships and family bonds in the early stages of childhood to looking at what children's literature can do for their future by creating more critical thinkers, better writers, and more well-rounded caring citizens, Sylvia shows why children's literature is one of the most important things you can share with children.
