This book gives pre-service primary teachers an in-depth guide to each major type of children's book, examining the form, structure and approach of each. From fairy tales and non-fiction to picture books and digital texts, learn what qualities underpin outstanding children's literature and how you can use this to inspire rewarding learning experiences in your classroom.

Key features:
