School Library Journal Review

Librarians looking for ways to engage media-obsessed children need search no further. Originally a presentation called "Booktalking with Pizzazz," presented at the 2004 American Library Association's Annual Conference, this volume is a collection of scripts for multimedia-enriched booktalks. After an introductory chapter that explains the reasoning for this approach, 10 scripts are outlined. Books, music, video, and Web sites are included for each one. The programs are geared toward elementary-aged children, although suggestions for adapting them for a middle or high school audience are included. The script for the ALA program is included, as is a concluding chapter with further advice and tips. Librarians can follow the scripts included in the book, adapt them for their own resources and needs, or use them as a place to start their own programs. Of particular interest to teachers and school library media specialists, especially those who are experienced booktalkers, this guide will help lead the way to a new kind of presentation.-Melissa Rabey, Frederick County Public Libraries, Frederick, MD (c) Copyright 2010.

Booklist Review

The authors present 10 30-minute multimedia booktalk scripts to use with children in the upper-elementary grades and provide a list of additional theme-related materials at the end of each chapter that can be substituted for different audiences, from younger children to adults. In addition to books, the programs incorporate music, films and videos, Web sites, and activities. Chapter 11 provides a complete description of the Booktalking with Pizzazz  training workshop the authors presented at the 2004 ALA Annual Conference. An appended Audiography, Bibliography, Filmography, and Webliography suggests even more resources. Each of the 10 scripts enables advance preparation of links and materials required for use as well as location of other materials if desired. Librarians will find plenty of ideas here, though some might wish for a greater number of book suggestions.--Marcus, Sara Copyright 2009 Booklist
