This book shows how different kinds of picturebooks can be used with children of all ages and highlights what positive educational gains are to be made from reading, sharing, talking and writing about picturebooks. "[T]he analysis of each book is sophisticated and insightful. Each chapter's bibliographies are extensive and helpful. The interview with author/illustrator Anthony Browne adds another useful dimension to an excellent study. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - CHOICE, February 2010
