Celebrate with Books: Booktalks for Holidays and Other Occasions
Libraries Unlimited | Rosanne J. Blass | Booktalking | September 30, 2005 ISBN 10: 1591580765 ISBN 13: 9781591580768 Catch the wave of enthusiasm that accompanies holiday celebrations, and use it to promote reading and literature throughout the year. Focusing on books published within the past five years, Blass introduces you to 200 of the best new fiction and nonfiction titles about world holidays for elementary readers—from New Year’s Day, Ramadan, and Mardi Gras to Juneteenth, Pioneer Day, and the Bon Festival. The guide offers full bibliographic information; a plot summary; a booktalk, bookwalk, or read-aloud for promoting the book to young readers; and ideas for discussion and extension learning activities. Chapters are organized chronologically from January to December, with additional chapters on “Holidays in General” and “Other Special Occasions,” covering such events as birthdays and losing a tooth. Alternative title suggestions for each holiday are given at the end of the section. A source of inspiration for reading assignments, book lists, and library displays, this guide is also a great resource for multicultural units.
