A Magical Encounter: Latino Children's Literature in the Classroom (2nd Edition)
This book is the prod­uct of forty years work­ing with class­room teach­ers to bring the enjoy­ment of lit­er­a­ture to their stu­dents. The activ­i­ties sug­gested have all been devel­oped organ­i­cally in col­lab­o­ra­tion with cre­ative teach­ers through­out the nation or have been the result of vis­its to their classes. It pleases me immensely to know that this book is cur­rently used in many teacher prepa­ra­tion courses. It would be a plea­sure to share some of your favorite activ­i­ties in the process of devel­op­ing the mag­i­cal encounter between chil­dren and books.
