The latest edition of this perennial favorite contains an additional 150 annotations of picture books published between 1998 and 2004. The new annotations include many books suitable for use with young adult readers and listeners, indicated with a 'YA' coding. As in the past, the descriptions are arranged by trait. Each of the traits has sample lesson plans for immediate classroom use, including the recently added 'Presentation' trait. If you have started using the 6+1 Trait® Writing system in your classroom, you will find Picture Books an invaluable resource.
