A landmark piece of scholarship which, through its reconciliation
of more traditional and historical models with recent developments
in the area of semiotics, initiates a new stage of research in
children's literature. . . . [It] will undoubtedly come to be
considered a seminal piece of research in this field.--Canadian
Review of Comparative Literature
Shavit's book is intelligent and wide in its sweep. Having pointed
to the constraints within which writers for children work, it paves
the way for an enhanced appreciation of the art with which many
meet the challenge.--South Atlantic Review
The book is illuminating whenever it deals with the broad cultural
contexts of children's literature. . . . Poetics of Children's
Literature demands, and deserves, thoughtful attention and
response.--Dalhousie Review
