Preddy, School Librarian * Books and makerspaces are a perfect marriage. But, where do you start? This book is the answer! All the resources, connections, and ideas are right there in easy-to-read pages for BOTH school librarians and students with current and relevant books! A must have for all elementary school librarians' lesson planning needs. * Carl A. Harvey II, Associate Professor of School Librarianship, Longwood University, Farmville, Virginia * Finally! A 21st century approach to fostering a love of literature with hands on opportunities to connect the reading with science, technology, engineering, art, and math! This approach fosters a love of learning through collaboration and imagination. I have witnessed firsthand how students in my own 2nd grade classroom have learned from one another and how students with varying abilities, gifts, and talents have equal access to learning and literacy. * Janice Iacovino, 2nd Grade Teacher, Veteran's Memorial Elementary School, Naples, Florida * Kids' Books and Maker Activities provides a wealth of information on book pairings and activities that makes it perfect for classroom teachers and school librarians.
