This is not a children's book, but rather a comprehensive academic handbook for adults and educators. It's a scholarly collection of essays analyzing children's literature from multiple critical perspectives, making it an invaluable resource for parents, teachers, librarians, and literature students who want to deepen their understanding of how children's books work and what they mean.
Remarkably well researched, the essays consider a wide range of texts - from the U.S., Britain and Canada - and take a variety fo theoretical approaches, including formalism and Marxism and those related to psychology, postcolonialism, reception, feminism, queer studies, and performance studies ... This collection pushes boundaries of genre, notions of childhood ... Choice. Back cover of book.
