  • The Art of Children's Book Selection: A Labyrinth Unexplored. Reutzel, D. Ray Gali, Kari Childhood Attitudes Childrens Literature Elementary Education Participant Observation Reading Interests Reading Material Selection Reading Research Recreational Reading Demonstrates that when children select library books, there is a generalizable routine or pattern learned and followed by most children--refinements or elaborations on that routine, however, are best demonstrated by "outlier" behaviors atypical to the basic routine. Shows that children typically select books based upon the book's physical characteristics and a holistic, implicit value attachment representing book preferences. (PA)
