Children's Literature Briefly: Chapters 1-5

Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Saddle River NJ: Prentice Hall, 2008.


After reading chapters 1-5 of the text book the one chapter that peeked my interest was Chapter 4 “How to recognize a Well- Illustrated Book”. Within the chapter, Tunnell and Jacobs gives you several different techniques that authors and illustrators use to illustrate a book. On the topic of providing a different view point, the illustrator can make a more interesting book than the author alone. The text can be exciting on its own, but once the reader views the illustration, the full story comes to life.
