Recenzje

"Reading Contemporary Picturbooks is happily more eclectic than a primer. Part social scientist and part literary critic, Lewis approaches his subject through a combination of taxonomical evaluation and meditative analysis, producing an even-handed evaluation of Emil Award-winning British picture books published during the last twenty years. Philip."
