Critical Perspectives on Harry Potter
49
 
 
Critical Perspectives on Harry PotterThe Harry Potter books have become ubiquitous early texts for children, and are also a popular choice for many adults. Potter-mania has expanded to become a significant cultural phenomenon complete with a feature film and a wide range of paraphernalia. However, there has been little critical attention devoted to these books and the cultural phenomenon surrounding them. Containing powerful, thought-provoking literary themes as well as portrayals of social and cultural normalcy, the Potter books cumulatively serve as a powerful form of social text and deserve serious critical attention.

Elfabet - An ABC of Elves
69
 
 

Elfabet - An ABC of ElvesКнижка-читалка для самых маленьких. Эльфы помогают детям выучить алфавит (или эльфовит?) Для детей 4-8 лет.

Yolen's elves are all energetically engaged in a variety of activities: "G is for Grape Elf grumpily gathering," "K is for Kite Elf keenly kicking." Mills enters into the spirit of the book with watercolor drawings of dainty, pointy-eared, long-toed little folk busy in their flowered or fruited setting. Borders include upper- and lower-case letters and more flowers, birds, or animals that extend the initial letter theme, a device not uncommon among alphabet books. Although the text is unexceptional and the delicate artwork is somewhat precious, enough preschoolers and their care givers will enjoy the antics of the elves to warrant purchase where there is room for another alphabet book on the shelves.

Picture Books Plus: 100 Extension Activities in Art, Drama, Music, Math, and Science
86
 
 
Picture Books Plus: 100 Extension Activities in Art, Drama, Music, Math, and SciencePicture Books Plus focuses on five curricula—art, drama, music, math, and science, because we feel these areas will appeal most to public and school librarians, to teachers and early childhood educators, and, of course, to children, with their natural curiosity and energy. Each chapter includes twenty picture book titles along with a short annotation of the book, an extension in at least one of the five subject areas, any materials needed, and the procedure to conduct the extension. Every activity in this book was tested (some several times).
