Informed by recent scholarship and interest in cultural studies and critical theory, Reading Children's Literature: A Critical Introduction is a compact core text that introduces students to the historical contexts, genres, and issues of children's literature. A beautifully designed and illustrated supplement to the individual literary works assigned, it provides helpful apparatus that makes it a complete resource for working with children's literature both during and after the course.

"For the first time ever I would actually consider using a textbook for my children's literature course...This text's valuable contribution is that it gives students a sense of the breadth of history and the sweep of critical issues in the children's literature field. As such it will be important to both students of literature and pre-service teachers seeking to understand the way writing for young people has evolved." — Megan Norcia, SUNY Brockport
