The use of the color illustrations and then the chart with the “Guide to Illustrations”–very helpful [Chapter 4].” - Roxanne Owens, DePaul University “. . .[S]trengths in each of the chapters [include] notable authors, recommended books, read alouds, investigation for further study, and the references. . . .
