Book Description

0807742805 978-0807742808 January 1, 2003
Here, Anne Dyson traces the influence of a wide-ranging set of "textual toys" from children's lives - church and hip-hop songs, rap music, movies, TV, traditional jump-rope rhymes, the words of professional sports announcers and radio deejays - upon school learning and writing.
