| I loved this book.
Reviewed by Sue Butler, Adolescent Literacy Consultant, Seattle Public Schools There is something for everyone in Peter Beidler's guide to Salinger's classic 1951 novel. It has detailed explanatory notes, photographs of places referred to in the novel, a map of Manhattan showing stops along Holden's journey, explanations of the movies he mentions, glossaries of words, phrases, and idiomatic sayings--all served up with gleeful humor. Beidler, who obviously loves ... Read More: |

| I have used the past four editions for a children's lit course for several years. The first five chapters provide an overvierw of approaching kid lit and a history of the field and its illustrators. The remainder has summaries of some 2000 books in various genres, areas and age ranges. The greatest aspect, and terrific for teaching or discussion, are the highlighted/boxed commentaries by various authors and experts. The appendices have lists of awards as well as short discussions on other media, ... Read More: |

| I love this book and take it with me every week when my 4-yr.-old daughter and I go to the library. Despite my best efforts, the Disney princess, Barbie, Bratz, etc. marketing machine is so in her face that of course that is what she gravitates to. Hoping it's just a phase, and trying not to be too didactic, I let her pick out what she wants (with the exception of Bratz!) but also pull out my secret weapon--this book--to always pick out a couple more books that present some alternative, balanced, positive ...

|
| As a professor of children's lit, I am frequently frustrated at the poor choices of textbooks available in the field. This one is pretty good -- I especially like its frequent mention of various contemporary texts as well as classics and award winners. It covers the basics of most of the genres within children's lit and unlike a lot of books in the field, isn't patronizing or saccharine about childhood or children's lit.
That being said, the biggest obstacle to my adopting this text is its ... Read More: |

| Anyone who writes or loves children's books should own this book of letters from Ursula Nordstrom, long-time editor at Harper Collins, to her authors. A fascinating "inside look" at her relationships with authors such as Ruth Krauss, Maurice Sendak, Lousie Fitzhugh, E. B. White (and many others), through witty, smart, personal communications. I love going back to this book, to reread or just browse - so inspiring! |

|
| Children's books are often dismissed as a lesser form of literature when compared to books aimed at adult audiences. However, children's literature often contains universal truths that can benefit readers of all ages.
What the Dormouse Said: Lessons for Grown-ups from Children's Books, is a charming collection of literary quotations. Amy Gash first became interested in children's books after the birth of her son. She began to seek out good children's books after her son was old enough to request the same story over and over ... Read More: |
