Children's Literature Briefly Chapter 13

Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Saddle River NJ: Prentice Hall, 200

I found Chapter 13 to be very interesting since it was about Biographies. And since all children have to always write a biography about some one famous at sometime during school this chapter was very helpful in braking down the different types of biographies there are available to read. The one that really shocked me was picture book biographies, I guess since I had forgotten about them. But a picture book biography will be perfect for children in kindergarten or first , because they will be able to get a good knowledge of the person they want to learn about, without reading a huge novel about that person.
