Children's Literature Briefly Chapter 18

Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Saddle River NJ: Prentice Hall, 2008.

After reading chapter 18 I understand that there are different reading materials to use besides the text book. Sometimes as an adult I have a had time understanding what a author is trying to enlighten a student on. The trade books are easy to understand and offer many different perspectives. I think that trade books are appealing to readers and they should be used more in the classroom and allow the teacher to expand on a child's learning experience.
