The Pleasures of Children's Literature, Third Edition, offers an overview of children's literature in the context of current professional discussion of children's literature and reading. Focusing on controversial issues and designed to provoke thought and debate, this ground-breaking text examines literary response to and analysis of the entire field of literary texts written by adults for children. The Pleasures of Children's Literature, Third Edition introduces and describes relevant current views in a number of disciplines, including literary theory; ideological, cultural and media studies; theories of visual culture and folklore; developmental and cognitive psychology; and pedagogical practice. Noteworthy new author team Nodelman and Reimer offer introductions to a range of relevant questions and approaches, and give readers an overview of theoretical approaches current in literary studies and related disciplines. They offer readers insight into the ways these studies and approaches might illuminate both children's responses and their own responses to understanding children's literature.

The Pleasures of Children's Lit (3rd Ed),
By berger5909 (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pleasures of Children's Literature, The (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
It's not a book I'd read for fun, first of all. I needed it for a class and we used it constantly. There is a lot of wonderful information in the book, and most of it is very interesting and surprising. However, some of it is very dry and boring. Such is the case with a textbook. The chapters are well divided and easy to understand, for the most part. A few parts are long-winded and boring, which make it hard for me to understand personally. When I was writing my papers for needed something to back up my comments in class, I could always find what I needed in Nodelman's book. You can't go wrong if you need to know anything about children's literature with this book. It's a great book, truly.
