Summary: "As undergraduate and graduate courses in children's literature become more established, there is an intense need for a textbook that offers aesthetic rather than educational approaches to children's literature. Aesthetic Approaches to Children's Literature: An Introduction fills the void by providing students of children's literature with a comprehensible and easy-to-use analytical toolkit, showing through concrete demonstration how the tools might best be used." "Aesthetic Approaches to Children's Literature explores the particular aesthetics of children's fiction and the ways critical theory can be applied to children's texts; at the same time, it remains accessible to a college readership without prior specialized knowledge of literary theory."--BOOK JACKET.
