Your completed assignment will be in essay format, consisting of 12 fully
developed paragraphs that include the following:
An introduction that previews for the reader what you’ll be writing
about. Include your thesis statement in this paragraph, and explain
how you located and selected your five books. A thesis statement
tells the reader what the purpose of the essay is and provides
insight into what the body of the essay will discuss. This paragraph
must be at least three to five sentences.

A one-paragraph summary for each book you’ve selected, written in
your own words. Make sure these paragraphs include the book title,
author, illustrator, publisher, and year of publication for each book.
The summary should provide the reader with a clear understanding
of the book’s characters, setting, plot, and theme. In other words,
what’s the book about? Be specific. This paragraph must be at least
three to five sentences.

A one-paragraph explanation of why you believe each book is
appealing to children in each age group. What would children like
about this book? Why would this book be enjoyable to them, and
why would they prefer this book be read to them repeatedly? Next,
identify one reason why parents would select this book for their
children. From a parent’s perspective, why is this book appealing?
Why would parents prefer this book? Finally in this paragraph,
explain one reason why caregivers would pick out this book. Why would they select or prefer this
book over other books available? Why would they find it necessary
or important to share this book with children? Your responses in
this paragraph should be fully developed and should include
specific details and examples as needed to support your opinions.
This paragraph must be at least three to five sentences.

A conclusion that tells the reader what you’ve learned from this
assignment. What has this project taught you about choosing books
for infants, toddlers, and 2-year-olds? How will you be able to apply
