Kid Culture: Children and Adults and Popular Culture

by Kathleen McDonnell

With clarity and humour the author addresses why pop culture is an irresistable lure to kids, by confronting the issues which both plague and challenge parents and educators today. The book examines questions such as: is Saturday morning TV as bad as it seems? Should I give my daughter a Barbie? and How is violence affecting kids?

I had totally forgotten about this book until I was looking at the references in my Shirley Jackson essay I wrote in college. I really don't remember anything about this book's information, but I do now remember using it to back up my points in some fashion.
