The Inside, Outside, and Upside Downs of Children's Literature: From Poets and Pop-ups to Princesses and Porridge

The Inside, Outside, & Upside Downs of Childrenâ€™s Literature is a groundbreaking text in which Jenifer Jasinski Schneider explores current issues in childrenâ€™s and young adult literature through extended discourse and integrated digital resources. Although many childrenâ€™s literature textbooks are organized by genre and written just for teachers, this book targets all audiences who have personal, professional, or peripheral interests in what children and young adults read, why they read, and how books work. Using a straightforward approach to analysis and written with a critical view of a $4-billion-a-year industry, Jenifer Jasinski Schneider examines childrenâ€™s literature as a collection of texts that socialize youth, politicize identity, represent history, and become art. This book is relevant for anyone who wants to understand the value of childrenâ€™s literature across political, financial, cultural, educational, and social borders. Table of Contents 1.
