Find and read a children’s book (or listen to a read-aloud of one) that seeks to introduce the real life background and works of either an actual artist, musician, or dancer to young children between the ages of 3 and 8. In a 2-3 page paper, write a  summary of the book, your own personal response to its subject or content, and a general personal critique of the suitability of the text for use in the early childhood or primary classroom.  Tell how you would specifically use it with children in your future classroom. Be sure to cite the book’s title, author(s), illustrator, publisher,  publication date, and number of pages, all according to APA format. Include a picture of the book’s cover at the end of your completed paper. Upload it for submission. Note-Do not copy the synopsis provided by the publisher or a review written by anyone else (or found on the Internet). It must be your original work or it will be considered plagiarism and you will earn an automatic 0 for this assignment with no chance for resubmission.
