The latest issue of the ENC Focus , a resource catalog of mathematics and science instructional materials, presents ideas for using children's literature in mathematics and science. The Focus provides some helpful advice from Jane Hickman, an associate professor of children's literature at Ohio State University, about choosing materials that support effective instruction. A bibliography of professional readings is included, as well as references to sources for reviews and title lists for children's literature. The heart of the Focus is its collection of annotated references to books, kits, videotapes, and journals that offer teachers ways to incorporate literature into their teaching.
