An invaluable resource for professionals who wish to write book evaluations—and for all serious fans of children's literature!
This revised edition of From Cover to Cover offers a fresh, up-to-date look at some of the best examples of children’s literature and also includes practical advice on how to write clearly articulated, reasoned opinions so that others can learn about books they have not yet read.
A brief, updated introduction clearly explains how children’s books evolve from manuscripts into bound books and the importance of the many different parts of a book (jacket flaps, title page, copyright, etc.) and changes in the children’s book industry, such as the creation of two new major genre awards. In addition, the author demonstrates how to think about and critically evaluate several different genres of children’s books.
Included are sections about books of information (and the author’s responsibility to document sources); traditional literature (myths, legends, tall tales, folktales); poetry, verse, rhymes, and songs; picture books; easy readers and traditional books; and fiction and graphic novels. There is also a concluding chapter on how to write reviews that are both descriptive and analytical, including a segment on children’s literature blogs.
Updated material includes:
•An introduction that reflects the many changes in the children’s book industry
•A section on genres, including a discussion of graphic novels
•A section on children’s literature blogs
•An introduction of two new major genre awards: the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award and the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award
•And more than 90% of the books cited have been updated from the first edition to more recent publications!

It's hard to believe how much has changed for us in just a few months. From five guys who didn't even know each other to making it to The X Factor final, heading off on our first tour, recording our first album, and releasing our own music, we've written this book so you can get to know who we really are, where we came from, and where we're going next.
This is our story of life as One Direction so far, and we're really proud to share it all with you!
"It's no exaggeration to say we're having the time of our lives right now, and it would not be happening if it wasn't for you. Thank you for all your unbelievable support."

It’s the fifth adventure from the crack of the crop, the bum de la bum, the stink of the litter . . . the fearless FART SQUAD! This laugh-out-loud chapter book series is perfect for Captain Underpants fans. With black-and-white illustrations throughout and a butt load of bathroom humor, young readers will be giggling from start to finish.
Underwear is disappearing all over Buttzville, and it’s up to the Fart Squad to sniff out the villain who’s brought the city to a chafing halt.
But the heroes better hold on to their tighty-whities. Doctor Lucius René Bottom is out to pants the city that yanked his underwear business out from beneath him—and take the Fart Squad down, too. Get ready to go commando like no kid has gone before, because the Fart Squad is filling with fuel, gaining gas, and getting ready to kick some Bottom with the foulest fart attack in the history of Buttzville!
