Reading Picture Books with ChildrenAuthor :

Description
A new, interactive approach to storytime, The Whole Book Approach was developed in conjunction with the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art and expert author Megan Dowd Lamberts graduate work in childrens literature at Simmons College, offering a practical guide for reshaping storytime and getting kids to think with their eyes.
Traditional storytime often offers a passive experience for kids, but the Whole Book approach asks the youngest of readers to ponder all aspects of a picture book and to use their critical thinking skills. Using classic examples, Megan asks kids to think about why the trim size of Ludwig Bemelmans Madeline is so generous, or why the typeset in David Wiesners Caldecott winner,The Three Pigs, appears to twist around the page, or why books like Chris Van Allsburgs The Polar Express and Eric Carles The Very Hungry Caterpillar are printed landscape instead of portrait. The dynamic discussions that result from this shared reading style range from the profound to the hilarious and will inspire adults to make childrens responses to text, art, and design an essential part of storytime.
