1. Describe how to effectively evaluate books for children. Is this a value based?

To effectively evaluate a book for children we need to first understand how the book is going to effect the child's life. In other words we need to choice a book that we can learn from, age appropriate and meaningful. I would like for the children in the class room to have a range of different books and learn more than one way to solve a problem. Books have so many meaning and different interpretations and sometimes many parents don't understand how or why a school would have certain books in their library's. I respect what the people above me have chosen for our library's but I also understand that I as a future educator have to go back and read the book to see if there isn't anything in the present time that a particular book could have a consequence on. I think that this is a value base. Even thou I respect all the books out there. Some books don't have any value nor respect. Children should be children and we as adults need to help them shares every piece of their childhood and respect the stages of life.

Why do character/setting analysis on children book? Purpose? what did it accomplish?
Character/setting are important in books. Take out the character and setting in any book it becomes difficult to read and understand Children sometimes get in the book they are reading by either putting them self in the charter or by remembering being at a similar setting at one time.
