An invaluable resource for professionals who wish to write book evaluations--and for all serious fans of children's literature

This revised edition of From Cover to Cover offers a fresh, up-to-date look at some of the best examples of children's literature and also includes practical advice on how to write clearly articulated, reasoned opinions so that others can learn about books they have not yet read.

A brief, updated introduction clearly explains how children's books evolve from manuscripts into bound books and the importance of the many different parts of a book (jacket flaps, title page, copyright, etc.) and changes in the children's book industry, such as the creation of two new major genre awards. In addition, the author demonstrates how to think about and critically evaluate several different genres of children's books.

Included are sections about books of information (and the author's responsibility to document sources); traditional literature (myths, legends, tall tales, folktales); poetry, verse, rhymes, and songs; picture books; easy readers and traditional books; and fiction and graphic novels. There is also a concluding chapter on how to write reviews that are both descriptive and analytical, including a segment on children's literature blogs.

Updated material includes:

-An introduction that reflects the many changes in the children's book industry

-A section on genres, including a discussion of graphic novels

-A section on children's literature blogs

-An introduction of two new major genre awards: the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Award and the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award

-And more than 90% of the books cited have been updated from the first edition to more recent publications

Good Quality Soap that Foams Well.
Scent: Lavender, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Good quality soap. Pump lathers the soap very well making it easy to cover your hands and then washing it off. Seems mild enough that it doesn’t chafe your hands or dry out your skin. Not expensive compared to many other options.

Great lotion with great fragrance
Scent: Fresh Mint, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lotion feels so good on my skin and the smell is perfume, but soft. I love the smell! If you are sensitive to perfumes, this may not be for you.

A lightweight lotion with a pleasant scent
Scent: Mellow Coconut, Size: 13.2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a lightweight lotion that absorbs well and leaves my skin silky soft for several hours afterwards. The scent is pretty and 'mellow', just like the name says, and it lasts almost as long as the moisturized feeling. Some fragrances give me a headache, but this one doesn’t, and it’s light enough that other people don’t notice it until they get close to me. The one withheld star is for the lack of upfront transparency about the ingredients. I am allergic to several chemicals that are common in skincare products, so it's very important to me to be able to see what I'm buying before I spend money on a personal care product that can’t be returned, and I know I’m far from the only person who has this problem. This is the complete list of ingredients, as shown on the back of the box: Water, Glycerin, Isopropyl Myristate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, C14-22 Alcohols, Dimethicone, Fragrance, Ceramide NP, Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate, Sodium DNA, Dipropylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Sorbitan Olivate, C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside, Butylene Glycol, Cetearyl Olivate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cetyl Palmitate, Acrylates/ C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, Sorbitan Palmitate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Panthenol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Disodium EDTA, Pentylene Glycol, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, Glucose, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Propylene Glycol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, Linalool
