Dowd Lambert, Megan. "Children, Children, What Do You See?." Horn Book Magazine, vol. 91, no. 6, Nov/Dec2015, p. 27. EBSCOhost, search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=ip,cpid&custid=yorktech&db=f5h&AN=110406723&site=ehost-live.

In this book “Children, Children, What Do You See?” Dowd helps children use imagery to describe what they think is coming up next in the book from the images that are displayed on the page. This encourages the children to use their imagination to predict the next scene in the book. This idea also helps encourage eagerness to read. And encourages suspense in children lives in early childhood literacy. I will use this to explain how it helps further children reading steps and comprehension of reading by predicting and producing outcomes. This also produces creativity and helps study the vast varieties of children’s mind and the way they think.

In this journal “Understanding Child Development through Picture Book Characters.” Cory Hansen and Debby Zambo explore the emotional and physical development of children and their minds through picture books. The importance of this article is the explanation of a child’s mind and their cognitive development. I will use this article to display the positive effects of children’s book and early literacy. This article helps readers understand children from infancy to early childhood. This will help me explain how picture books can influence a child’s reading and foreshadowing methods. These illustrations are positive ways to help children comprehend a story. This will help further my thesis about the positivity from children’s books.

Harrington, Judith M. "We're All Kids!" Picture Books and Cultural Awareness." Social Studies, vol. 107, no. 6, 01 Jan. 2016, pp. 244-256. EBSCOhost, search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=ip,cpid&custid=yorktech&db=eric&AN=EJ1120165&site=ehost-live.

In this book “We’re All Kids!” Picture Book and Cultural Awareness.” Harrington expresses how important it is that children are culturally aware. Studies show that providing students with picture books with text and images that reflect contemporary life in different countries can help children become attuned to similarities in culture, promoting social awareness. I will use this to describe how this will help children know the differences in their culture and other countries culture. This will promote individualism and give the child a sense of belonging and understanding of themselves. Which will influence a connection in social studies and environment.

In this book “The Kids’ Money Book : Earning, Saving, Spending, Investing, Donating” Leeper explains how important it is for kids to know the value of a dollar. This helps kids learn how to save money at an early age and how they have to work hard to earn money. It teaches them to have responsibilities at an early age. The importance of this is that it gives children a sense of what money is used for and lets children know money does not grow on trees. It shows them how to value money and how to spend it wisely. I will use this to explain the importance of enabling responsibilities in children’s lives.
