Show Select Children s Books Carefully, Teacher Urges Books given to children at Christmas Christ-mas are a valuable element in the development of the child, according to Mrs. Mary S. Venable of the University Uni-versity of Tennessee Nursery school. Factors to be considered in the selection .of children's books, says Mrs. Venable, are: suitability to the child's age and development; choice of words contained in the story; amount of action; number of illustrations; illus-trations; and degree of repetition. She also says that there should be some humorous stories in a child's collection. |
