Picture Books for Teens? Wait, What?

So many wonderful picture books are suitable for use with 5th–12th grade and even college students! This book reviews over 525 titles categorized by subject: science, history, language arts, math, the arts, and character. Therefore, all middle and high school teachers can search by their subject area. Poignant, sobering, and informative—picture books can be used to introduce a topic, for discussion starters, for creative writing ideas, to engage readers of all backgrounds—a comprehensive list of many possible uses is included. The simplified text to tell the story of a picture book is useful for discovering writers craft and the illustrations are very often art gallery quality and provide an extra level of support for understanding the story. Picture books are short enough to easily become part of any lesson. Another important feature—picture books are just plain entertaining.
