About this title

From the Publisher:

Unlike most children's literature texts--which offer a comprehensive, in- depth study of all available background information--this book sheds light on the actual literature itself and its interaction with children. It is a companion volume, to be used in conjunction with children's literature, that provides a practical framework and background information while keeping the spotlight on the literary works themselves.
