  • Notes

    • "In this text, Jane M. Gangi gives us a new perspective on how integrating the fine arts and literature fosters the active participation and in-depth understanding that is as important for children as it is for teachers. The heart of the book is a comprehensive treatment of children’s literature, with a strong emphasis on multicultural and international literature."–BOOK JACKET
