Each entry includes: a book talk to engage young readers; an activity to help them understand and personalize the topic; and discussion questions to aid in the emotional development of elementary school readers.

Kitain also encourages involvement with dramatic arts, movement, and music to build student confidence and a lifelong love of reading. ""Shelf Esteem"" fills two critical library needs. It's a valuable reader's advisory resource to help you connect children with the right books at the right times.
