Ans. to #1

ANSWER: True

Ans. to #2

They are important because most children at that level do not have highly developed reading skills. These children tend to gain much of their understanding of the story from the illustrations as well as from listening to the words. Nearly all of the books one might use in an early childhood program are actually classified as picture books even though they often have some text. The fact that both auditory and visual cues are used, provides a multi-sensory approach to language learning.

Ans. to #3

ANSWER: False

Ans. to #4

There are a variety of things that one might consider in selecting nonfiction books. Some of the considerations are:
 narrative format
 accurate information
 current copyright date
 simple and clear charts and illustrations
 appropriate readability

Ans. to #5

Fairy tales, due to their sometimes frightening and violent stories, can be somewhat scary for young children. Care should be taken in this regard.
This problem can be avoided in a variety of ways. First, one might choose tales that do not include violent scenes. One might also choose versions in which the violence is toned down. Of course, the world of childhood can be full of both real (e.g., events depicted on television) and imaginary (e.g., afraid of the dark) frightening things. The fairy tale may be superior to these, since in such stories good usually triumphs over evil in the end.
