Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0415938805, Paperback)
Have children ever really had a literature of their own? In Sticks and Stones, Jack Zipes explores children's literature, from the grissly moralism of Slovenly Peter to the hugely successful Harry Potter books, and argues that despite common assumptions about children's books, our investment in children is paradoxically curtailing their freedom and creativity. Sticks and Stones is a forthright and engaging book by someone who cares deeply about what and how children read. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 19 Nov 2007 03:58:12 -0500) (see all 2 descriptions) |
