Probably most important is the accuracy of the information stated in the books. Questioning the author's authority on the subject is important here too. The information presented should be up-to-date and should include all the significant facts. As always the text should avoid stereotypes. Content and perspective should consider the why's of they book and when evaluating the text, we should be questioning why the text is written, who the text is written for, and how the facts in the text interact with other perspectives. With regard to the style of the text, it is important that the text is clear and direct while also using vivid language and presenting strategies to catch the reader's attention. The text should be structured well and provide reference aids where it is thought they would be needed. Finally, the illustrations are an extension of the text and can drive home important facts about the topic being discussed. Additionally, the text needs to be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate for the target audience.
