The selection processes data indicate gender differences, especially related to social aspects of recreational reading and perceived reading ability. The selection rationales of these students focused on topic or perceived content but were not particularly sophisticated. The finding contradicts much previous research indicating that young readers, particularly girls, favor narrative text. An overwhelming majority of first graders preferred informational books, especially animal books. In addition, 122 students were also interviewed about their selections and how they made their choices. One-hundred ninety first graders were invited to select their favorite book from among nine high-quality, well-illustrated picture books representing a variety of topics, media, and genres. This report delineates a three-part investigation into first graders' preferences, selection rationales, and processes when choosing a picture book to own.
