ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Reading aloud to young children has been advocated as a vital experience in literacy development both at home and school. Studies show that participation with adults and peers in book reading at home and school increases young children's desire to read and improves their reading comprehension. Often, however, teachers and parents need guidance on which books to select out of more than 50,000 children's books in print. To simplify the search for quality picture books, this book provides annotations of the 200 best-selling picture books and offers ideas on how to share them with children. It contains descriptions of best-selling picture books-both old and new. Titles were selected for inclusion based on the volume of sales, rather than the tastes of a single individual or small committee. Books are grouped by suggested age levels. --From publisher's description.

With almost 5 million copies sold 60 years after its original publication, generations of readers have now journeyed with Milo to the Lands Beyond in this beloved classic.

And teach us some wisdom, too.” --Phillip Pullman For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason. Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact, it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams!
