As a wordless picture book, this book follows the story of a girl 

who lives on a farm. The little girl discovers a girl hiding in her 

family’s barn. It teaches children different feelings including 

humanity and compassion and how to deal with different

 people they might encounter in life. 

I really like this book because it doesn’t just teach children 

different feelings/emotions but predicting, which personally is 

important to teach children. I would definitely give this to children 

in 3^rd grade or up, not a 3-year-old child. 

I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. 

Case #1 Grocery Store

Disney Frozen 2 Magical Sticker Book

by DK

ISBN: 9781465479020

Publisher: DK

Publication Date: 10/04/2019

As a Grocery Store book this is a fun book! Especially with the fact that there are stickers.As it is a grocery store book it is not supposed 

to be educational and it is not, which is good. Frozen is very popular right now and kids want their parents to buy it. The book follows Anna, Elsa, Sven, Kristoff, and Olaf. 

as a teacher I don’t like this book but, I liked this book as a Grocery Store book. I like it because it follows a story that has the two best things a kid likes frozen, and stickers.

I would rate this book a 3 out of 5. 

Welcome!

Welcome as I start investigating Children's literature!

       I am a senior Early Childhood major and looking forward to starting my career. I have three older sisters, I am the youngest child! Growing up, and watching my sisters they read older literature due to their ages. Of course, I wanted to read those books like Harry Potter but couldn't because I was 5 and my sisters were 12. I didn't read much but when I did I loved to read picture books like Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and pattern books like Madeline. My dream career is to my a child life specialist at a children's hospital. I want to help children learn who can not be at school, play is an important way of doing that. Next, to play, reading is next to that; in my mind.  I would like to find out information based on these questions like; what books are appropriate books based on a child's cognitive development and why? which children's literature is appropriate for different teaching practices like a read-aloud? how can children learn things like reading and speaking from children's literature?


We will be going different cases (books) and looking at them closly to see what literature is good and bad.
