First Published in 1998. There is a current preoccupation with educational standards with claims that overall standards of achievement have fallen. The purpose of this book, therefore, is to address the question of how children learn across the primary National Curriculum subjects, with implications for effective teaching approaches. The book emphasises a constructivist view of learning, which acknowledges that children have views and attitudes which are formed as a result of experiences in and out of school and that these must be taken into account if meaningful and transferable learning is to be achieved.

The culmination of a trilogy on children literature that began with After Alice and The Prose and the Passion. The 20 essays address a variety of genres and issues both in contemporary contexts and in the past. Among the contributors are novelists Jan Mark, Jill Paton Walsh, and John Rowe Townsend; others include artists and booksellers. Their topics range from a bookseller's view of wasting money, the revenge of the teenage horror, and Aesop for children to reading picture books, letter writing, picture books as small portable galleries, the masks of the narrator, and critical literacy as a dangerous underground movement.
Yaklaşık onbeş yıl, Necatibey Eğitim Fakültesinde İngilizce Öğretmenliği Anabilim Dalında çocuklara yabancı dil öğretimi, edebiyat yoluyla dil öğretimi, çocuk edebiyatı metinlerinde söylem analizi üzerine dersler verdikten sonra, doktora tezimden derlediğim ve Çocuk Edebiyatına Kuramsal Yaklaşım adını verdiğim bu kitabı yazmayı bir görev bildim. Özellikle üniversitelerimizde Türk, İngiliz, Alman ve Fransız Dili ve Edebiyatı bölümlerinde okuyanların ve edebi kuramlarla ilgilenenlerin başvurabilecekleri, çocuk edebiyatına kuramsal yaklaşım üzerine Türkçe yazılmış bir kaynağın yokluğu, bu kitabı yazmam gerektiğini bana hissettirdi.

Bu eseri kaleme almamdaki bir diğer neden ise, geleceğimizi emanet ettiğimiz çocuklarımızın edebi açıdan da ne kadar değerli olduklarını onlara göstermektir.

Dieses Buch bietet die erste literatur- und medientheoretisch fundierte Studie zu Blickbewegungen im Bilderbuch. Es begegnet zwei Forschungsdesideraten: Der empirischen Untersuchung geht eine umfassende theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit der Räumlichkeit und Paratextualität des Bilderbuchs voraus, die bislang noch nicht vorliegt. Die Rezeptionsstudie setzt sich in zweierlei Hinsicht von bereits vorliegenden Arbeiten zur Bilderbuchrezeption ab: Anders als in Blickbewegungsstudien aus der experimentellen Psychologie wird die Komplexität des Rezeptionsgegenstandes in die Analyse der Blickbewegungen einbezogen. So setzt die Studie nicht auf bildschirmbasierte Schrift-Bild-Kombinationen oder ...
This book challenges the popular image of picture books being an easy read and only for the under-sevens. Through a close examination of good quality picture books and the imaginative responses of primary children to them, the authors encourage teachers to use such books in a thought-provoking way. They argue that the special qualities of these books and the approaches used by the teacher enable the children to read and think about literature at a level beyond that normally expected of them.
