Publisher's Synopsis

This fourth volume of the series, Using Picture Story Books to Teach Literary Devices, gives teachers and librarians the perfect tool to teach literary devices in grades K-12. With this volume, the author has added: colloquialism; counterpoint; solecism; archetype; and others to the list of devices. The entries have been reorganized to include all the information under the book listing itself. Each entry includes an annotation, a listing of curricular tie-ins for the book and the art style used, and a listing and explanation of all the literary devices taught by that title. Grades K-12


Including titles mostly published after 2002, this volume features well reviewed picture books, listed under over 40 literary devices taught in literature curriculums. Among the literary devices included are alliteration, analogy, flashback, irony, metaphor, paradox, and more. For each device a definition is given, with a listing and description of appropriate storybooks to teach that device.
