Product Description
A well-known author designed this unique book for Education, English, Library Science, and Humanities classes that emphasize selecting, analyzing, evaluating, and using children's multicultural literature. It includes chapters on African American, Native American, Latino, Asian, Jewish, and Middle Eastern cultures. Each chapter follows a five-phase approach, developed by the author, to lead readers to an understanding of the literature. The five-phase approach begins with a broad introduction to the ancient myths, legends, and folktales of the culture. Phase II narrows the topic to the ancient myths, legends, and folktales from one specific area. Phase III studies the historical nonfiction selections such as biographies, autobiographies, and informational literature that encourage students to understand the early experiences of the social and political history of specific people. Phase IV is a study of historical fiction selections based on characters from specific cultures or on interactions between people and other cultures. Phase V is a study of contemporary literature including fiction, poetry, biography, and autobiography. For teachers of children's literature courses.

 Multicultural class textbook April 12, 2008
I borrowed a book for my Children's Literature class and found out two days before class began that the professor changed the textbook. I went to Amazon.com and ordered the new book and it was there in two days. I never missed a beat. Thank you!

I had to purchase this book for a class. The first chapter is very informative however the rest of the chapters repeat everything from the first chapter but with examples. Yawn.
