The book was in excellent condition and it came promptly. This was my first time ordering online and it will not be my last.

I love this book because the chapters are short and to the point. There’s no interpretation required for reading this book, unlike some college texts I’ve read.

Had to buy it for class. Regardless, came in good condition and it’s a pretty good book. Not too much details into each chapter but good if you want an overall review on different children’s literature.

This book isn’t bogged down by various author histories or long-winded, complicated psychological breakdowns of why the authors think a particular book has more merit than others like many textbooks do. Instead, Tunnel and Jacobs get down to the nuts and bolts new teachers need to actually get children to read! With simple examples and amazing tools like booklists and the easy to use database, this book gives the teacher the essential keystones to teach and read children’s literacy and then pushes the teacher to be a good role model and get out there and read! It is certain to have a permanent place in my resource library.
