I make an exception, however, for <em>Reading Children's Literature</em>, which I assign every time I teach a children's literature course. More importantly, my students are also fans: the book allows them to join important conversations in the field from the very beginning. The introduction addresses common dismissive attitudes about children's literature, provides tools for becoming a careful critical reader, and sets up key terms. I highly recommend this book to any instructor of children's literature." -- Meghan Sweeney, University of North Carolina Wilmington </p> <p>"My deep dismay when <em>Reading Children's Literature</em> went out of print increases my delight at what the new edition of the textbook has to offer. This second edition includes new material on popular culture and children's literature, racism and racialization in children's literature, and sustained attention to dis/ability in children's literature. I cannot wait to dive into this text with students!" -- Mary Juzwik, Michigan State University </p> <p>"There's much to like about this book. Throughout, there is an awareness of difficult issues unique to children's literature, such as audience and selection, as well as issues like race, ability, and gender. The writing is accessible and informed by theory, but not mired in it. The new edition includes a new chapter on children's literature and popular culture that provides language for analyzing film and television." -- Rhonda Brock-Servais, Longwood University </p> <p>"Carrie Hintz and Eric Tribunella have updated this text by adding brand new content and by building on compelling existing material from the first edition. With new features like review questions and a brand new glossary of the whole book, this new edition will be sure to please those who are already familiar with the first edition as well as those who are reading this textbook for the very first time." -- Lance Weldy, Francis Marion University </p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Carrie Hintz</strong> is Associate Professor of English and teaches children's and young adult literature at Queens College of the City of New York and the Graduate Center at CUNY. <strong>Eric L.
