Briefly is the key word in this title. The information was brief but concise when it spoke about the different types of genres, history of, and the different authors that write children's literature. It was short (well, shorter then the one other children's literature textbook I read called Through the Eyes of a Child by Donna E. Norton and Saundra Norton), sweet and to the point. The downside is that it does not give you the depth of topic that is required to learn more about children's literature but it is a good foundation.

Amazingly good for a textbook type. It's revolutionizing my way of thinking about teaching. I think my students will be glad I read it.
