This book provides in-depth coverage of children's literature with integrated reading methods in a concise, accessible format. Johnson emphasizes that reading, writing, discussing, and finding pleasure in children's books are essential tools in being able to recognize and recommend literature, and being able to share the joy of children's literature with children themselves. This fully updated third edition includes up-to-date research, new book titles within each chapter, a greater focus on diversity and inclusion, and new sections on Activities for Professional Development and Print and Online Resources.
