Opis

Rahn discusses ten neglected children's authors from the 1880s to the present, and shows how in the process of becoming an academic field of study, children's literature has narrowed in scope to allow only bestsellers with high profits to survive. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Recenzje

"Rahn encourages teachers and librarians to go beyond an exclusive and academic approach to children's literature and introduce young readers to a wider variety of good books. Recommended for academic libraries and larger public libraries." -- School Library Journal
