Gotcha!: How to Catch a Three-Year-Old Reader

 

Story time with a group of three-year-olds can be like wrangling puppies. Instead of sitting still, they may wrestle or chew the DUPLO blocks. As a preschool teacher for eight years, Kerry Hansen made it her mission to find picture books that captivate squirmy audiences. Over time, she determined which traits most appeal to this age group and discovered they win over older readers as well. Using over 60 mentor texts as examples, she'll dive deep into these characteristics so you can write picture books that’ll catch the attention of three-year-olds and beyond.
