Summary Take advantage of the appeal and power of Caldecott award literature to enhance elementary level learning. The author demonstrates how to use award-winning books as springboards to grasping social studies concepts--and to expand student awareness and appreciation of illustration techniques. For each Caldecott title there is background information on the illustrations, curriculum connections, lesson plans, and support materials for teaching. The book also includes an array of individual and collaborative projects, many of which foster collaborations between library media specialists and classroom teachers.
