Brilliant-
I was asked to give the bibliographical info of a book written ABOUT William Faulkner. Help please? :(
Answer
Title: William Faulkner: three decades of criticism.
Authors: Frederick John Hoffman; Olga W Vickery
Publisher: Michigan State University Press, 1960. (East Lansing)
You will need to tweak this depending what bibliographic system you are using (eg Harvard)

Answer
I advise you to look for books that rhyme or have a rhythmic pattern. This is the key to building reading fluency in children. It's no accident that children will often ask to have their favorite stories read to them again and again--these books, from the classics to the contemporary feature repetitive or rhythmic text that begs to be read aloud time after time. Also, pop-up books and lift the flap books can be very attractive to children of any age but in particular emergent readers. I've included some below. For preschool children, I highly recommend books by Lois Ehlert, Eric Carle, Sandra Boynton, Bill Martin Jr. and of course, Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss). There are thousands of books that you might select, but let me recommend a few that you may not be familiar with:

I've read the above picture books numerous times with great cheer (and some tears) from many audiences. Click on my profile and e-mail me. I would be happy to correspond with you and make further suggestions. I'd also encourage to stop by your local library and chat with the children's librarians there to get their recommendations. Finally, I'd suggest you find a copy of Jim Trelease's "The Read Aloud Handbook." http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/ It's an invaluable resource for parents, godparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. Another good source of information is "Parent's Guide to the Best Books for Children," published by The New York Times and edited by Eden Ross Lipson.
