In this pioneering historical study, Anne Lundin argues that schools, libraries, professional organizations, and the media together create and influence the constantly changing canon of children's literature. Lundin examines the circumstances out of which the canon emerges, and its effect on the production of children's literature. The volume includes a comprehensive list of canonical titles for reference.
Jungen sind die eigentlichen Sorgenkinder in der aktuellen Bildungsmisere. Das Problem: Leseunlust, Lerninkompetenz, Lebensangst. Schon jetzt prognostizieren die Wissenschaftler sozialen Sprengstoff. In ihrem Buch fordert die Journalistin und Fernsehmoderatorin Katrin Müller- Walde, die Bedürfnisse der Jungen zu berücksichtigen. Basierend auf aktuellen Studien der Leseforschung zeigt sie Wege aus der Krise und sammelt Lektüreempfehlungen von Jungen für Jungen, mit denen die Lust am Lesen wieder geweckt wird. Wenn es nicht gelingt, ihre Leselust wiederzubeleben, werden sie die Herausforderungen der digitalen Gesellschaft nur schwer bewältigen.

In Once Upon a Time: My Life with Children's Books Sheila Egoff tells the story of her working life, from her early voracious reading, through all her significant contributions to libraries in Canada and to our national understanding of our own literature for children. She brings both a critical eye and a personal touch to this book, which reads as a memoir and as an account of important developments in Canadian writing and librarianship. In this time of cuts to budgets for books and for librarians, there is much here to reflect upon.
A little girl's love of books fires her imagination, taking her from the top of the highest mountain to the bottom of the deepest sea, and everywhere in between!
