Research - You are responsible for purchasing books for the infant and toddler room and for children in early
childhood attending the preschool at a child-care center. Create a list of developmentally appropriate books
that should be included in both rooms and explain how these books address the three domains of development
for infants, toddler and preschoolers. What kinds of books should not be included? Why? Present support for
your recommendations using the literature related to appropriate books for early development and our
textbook.
See for yourself – Evaluate two or three books suitable for infants, toddlers and preschoolers from a bookstore,
toy store and/or children’s library. What is the content covered in each book? Are the books suitable for infants
and toddlers? (Explain your answer) Are the books suitable for preschoolers? (Again, explain your answer) Are
they made from durable material? Are they action oriented and gender neutral? What types of illustrations are
used? How do the books promote physical, cognitive, social and emotional development? How does the book
promote language development? What do you believe makes a “good” book for children? Be sure to use
examples from the book you review to help address the questions.
