Reviews
Liberally sprinkled with titles, chock full of ideas and supplemented with high-quality bibliographies ... librarians will find helpful and few children will be able to resist.—Booklist

What distinguishes this volume and its previous companion work from other similar compilations are the refreshing, enticing annotations. Their originality and citations to additional related works leave no doubt that Freeman has read and probably used each title in a read-aloud, workshop, or booktalk session. Her 50 Ways to Recognize a Read-Aloud constitutes an almost guaranteed basis for acquisitions that are certain to be borrowed by users of any age.Librarians, teachers, and parents who work with children should consider this a mandatory purchase. It succeeds in furnishing not only a list of new materials, but even more important, the methods and programs to bring literature to life.—ARBA

Drawing on her years of experience as librarian and storyteller, Freeman offers practical suggestions for numerous literature-based activities to enrich the language arts curriculum.—School Library Journal
