Over the past 15 years, there has been a pronounced trend toward a particular type of picturebook that many would label "postmodern." Postmodern picturebooks have stretched our conventional notion of what constitutes a picturebook, as well as what it means to be an engaged reader of these texts. The international researchers and scholars included in this compelling collection of work critically examine and discuss postmodern picturebooks, and reflect upon their unique contributions to both the field of children’s literature and to the development of new literacies for child, adolescent, and adult readers.
Melvin Burgess has made a powerful name for himself in the world of children's and young adult literature, emerging in the 1990s as the author of over twenty critically acclaimed novels. This collection of original essays by a team of established and new scholars introduces readers to the key debates surrounding Burgess's most challenging work, including controversial young adult novels Junk and Doing It. Covering a variety of critical and theoretical perspectives, the volume also presents exciting new readings of some of his less familiar fiction for children, and features an interview with the author.

Bilderbücher spielen nicht nur für die frühkindliche Bildung und Medienerziehung eine zentrale Rolle. In den letzten Jahrzehnten haben sich komplexe Formen der Interdependenzen von Bild und Text und eine lebhafte Rezeption der Bildenden Kunst sowie der Medienkultur entwickelt. Dieser Band führt umfassend in das Bilderbuch als Buchgattung ein, dabei steht die narratoästhetische Analyse in Bild und Text im Zentrum. Exemplarisch angewandt wird der Ansatz durch Beispielanalysen von Mareile Oetken, Annika Sevi, Mirijam Steinhauser und Michael Staiger, die verschiedene Bilderbücher und Apps untersuchen. Kapitel zur Didaktik des Bilderbuchs sowie ein Glossar zur Fachterminologie runden die Einführung ab. Die 2. Auflage wurde aktualisiert, ergänzt und um ein Kapitel zur historischen Entwicklung des Bilderbuchs erweitert.
