Teachers and library media specialists should be on the lookout for:
a. annoying comments and exclamation points in an attempt to be chatty or perky.
b. books that contain too many illustrations (whether color or black and white) because they might be disguising the author's lack of ability to write the book.
c. book awards especially for nonfiction because they might fail to appropriately identify books.
d. publishers' catalogs that provide accurate and objective evaluation of nonfiction books for young adults.
Question 2
Which of the following most effectively describes illustrations in young adult books?
a. Illustrations should be in color because young adult readers grew up during times of television and video games.
b. Illustrations in nonfiction books are not as important as fiction books because young adults are reading to learn content knowledge.
c. Illustrations should be reserved for websites and other technology means.
d. Illustrations should be sharp and appropriately positioned on the pages and should also accurately portray or extend the text.
