There was a huge lack of diversity in authors and characters in the books chosen. The books were dated.

I like this because it gave examples of books and they talked about what they did. The best part was it had things for the younger grades like kindergarten and first grade.

I was a little nervous this class would not relate to my current middle school class, but I can see using childrens literature with math is something I can try. This would make math more exciting.
