Children’;s Literature Reviews: 2007 Notable Children’;s Books in the Language Arts

Every year the Notable Children’;s Books in the Language Arts committee reads and reviews hundreds of books to select thirty titles that Language Arts teachers will enjoy sharing with and recommending to their students. Notable books may deal explicitly with language, such as plays on words, word origins, or the history of language or they may demonstrate uniqueness in the use of language or in style. Often, they invite child response or participation.
