So there you have it. My first ever Children's Literature journal! I started this project with an overload of names and titles of books that I wanted to include. As I progressed I realized there are far more genres than I had realized and I wanted to make sure I covered them all. I feel that I have compiled here a diverse list of books that cover various subjects, styles and purposes. Through my reflection on these works I have learned so much about the nature of children's literature as well as the exceeding impact it can have on me, as a reader. I looked at these books not so much as a "teacher-in-training" but as an individual that loves to read. It just so happened that I enjoyed so many aspects of many of these books that I couldn't find the time to write about all my feelings! I feel that my honesty and personality has come through in writing these journals and that I learned a fair bit about myself along the way.
I know I will continue to read and love children's stories, and from now on I will take time to reflect on my feelings and connections, taking each special piece to heart.
I've decided to post some titles that I wish I could have included in my blog:
- The Cat Came Back by Fred Penner
- The Recess Queen by Alexis O'Neill
- For The Love of Autumn by Patricia Pollaco
- Hey Al by Arthur Yorinks
- What Do You Do With A Tail Like This by Steve Jenkins and Robin Page
- Hailstones and Halibut Bones by Mary O'Neill
- Bonz Inside and Out by Byron Glaser
- Coretta Scott Ntozake Shange
- The Big Elephant in the Room by Lane Smith
- Do Unto Otters- A Book About Manners by Laurie Keller
I hope you enjoyed reading, I know I sure did! :)
