Literature Activity Books : An Index to Materials for Whole Language and Shared Literature

This index offers access to ideas and activities for over 1000 quality children's books through an integrated author, title, subject arrangement.

A listing of teacher idea books that extend children's trade titles composes the second part of the book.

Each activity book entry includes the title, author, publishing information, a brief description of the contents and objectives, the books covered, and interest level (preschool-fifth grade).

A broad range of authors, both well known and not so well known, are represented: from Harry Allard and Judy Blume to Dr. Seuss and Charlotte Zolotow. Titles referred to include "Make Way for Ducklings", "Jumanji", "Owl Moon", "Ira Sleeps Over" and "Little Rabbit's Loose Tooth".

Educators can use the index to find materials to support a particular title, author, or subject.

The book is intended to be a tool for librarians and teachers, and to save both time and energy.
