The Child and the Book

Klappentext The author's acute criticism offers a balanced view of a stimulating and sometimes controversial subject.Children's responses to literature are equally fascinating from the psychological and the literary point of view. Nicholas Tucker's exploratory study traces the relationship between the child and the book using both these perspectives, from the baby's first picture book to the moment when the adolescent reader takes up adult literature.
