An interesting review of Children's Literature criticism. Definitely made me want to read more of certain reviewers and on particular genres, but also found the brevity and concise nature of the book meant I was left a bit confused at times.

it's a very good book for students who need to know about ideas and key concepts of critics, who think about children's literature. For children's literature scholars this book will recall you to arguments of many critics in short time !
