Reviews:
-Picture Books for Looking and Learning is educational, enjoyable and thorough. This work is the answer for the teacher or librarian, or anyone else for that matter, who has wanted so to share the love and artistry of a picture book with another but did not know how!....critiques of 43 picture books are arranged by grade level.It is not only the content of these analyses but the manner in which they are written that makes this work outstanding. These critiques are written in such a way that a reader can actually read each with the picture book in hand. The reader is cued when to turn the page. —Public Library Quarterly
-Use this for story hours and lend it to teachers for whole language activities. —School Librarian's Workshop
-...helps librarians and teachers introduce children to the concepts and aesthetics of art appreciation. —American Libraries
