Reviews
This resource would be a remarkable addition to children's literature research collections. * School Library Journal, 1/1/2006 *
This textbook is designed for use in children's literature courses in which literary criticism is emphasized. Nikolajeva's goal is to provide students with an 'analytical toolkit' that they can use to better understand the aesthetic dimensions of children's literature. Among the critical approaches covered in this book are hermeneutics, structuralism, psychoanalysis, and feminist theory. * Children's Literature Association Quarterly *
