Virtually every genre of the literary mainstream can be found in children's picture books, but very little has been written about the multifaceted world of pre-school literature. They're Never Too Young for Books is a welcome aid to parents and teachers to introduce their children to the shared pleasures of reading. While many adults are convinced of the benefits of early exposure to books, they are often understandably baffled by the task of book selection and proper use. Edythe M. McGovern has created a knowledgeable, succinct, and practical guide to the selection and use of hundreds of books to satisfy the expanding interests and developmental needs of young readers. Well-organized and easy to use, They're Never Too Young for Books provides easy access to different types of books, specific titles, authors and illustrators. McGovern also includes techniques for reading aloud and for involving children in creative dramatics and puppetry, as well as tips that enhance the child's enjoyment and the adult's confidence in sharing the adventure of great literature.
