Drawing on compelling picture books that can be used to directly support the AASL National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries, this ready-to-go toolkit of lessons, worksheets, anchor charts, assessments, and rubrics is specifically designed to build learner competencies while examining big ideas inspired by picture books. An invaluable timesaver, this resource provides

• a picture book synopsis for each unit, followed by lesson objectives, essential questions, materials, and duration;
• worksheets, anchor charts, and exit slips tailored for each picture book and lesson;
• “Quick Tips” that offer helpful ideas and suggestions to consider during the lesson; and
• an appendix that includes rubrics to facilitate assessment in all six foundations.
