Chapter 10

Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Sadle River NJ: Pearson/Merrill Prentice Hall, 2008

I found Chapter 10 on Modern Fantasy to be very interesting. There are many different Categories about it. I feel it is very important for children to be able to use there imaginations and have creative thinking. At the same time I feel it is important for children to understand that what they are reading is not real and it is all made up. We need to be able to imagine magic and hero's. Being able to imagine and create things is necessary. In the 6th grade I remember Charlotte's Web by E.B. White being one of my absolute favorites.
