I found chapter 1 particularly useful because I never really liked the basal texts in my reading classes growing up. I was always bored with the briefness of the stories. This chapter reinforced my wanting to use more childrens literature in lesson deliveries. Acquiring books for your class library should be a priority and could prove vital in getting kids hooked on reading, and that is why it would be a good idea to get started as soon as possible. I have always enjoyed reading books to my children as well as in the classrooms I have had the pleasure in being a part of. I found that if you read with an intense conveyance of feeling or acting kids want to read more often than not.
I found a website using Google: Authors!Authors! Children's Book Authors and Illustrators. This site has a ton of authors and illustrators to explore. Finding an author for our Author Profile should prove easy with this site. I would recommend it to everyone. Hope it helps you.
