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.

The author draws on his own extensive research in urban classrooms
to present a grounded theoretical model of young childrens
understanding of picture storybooks. Advancing a much broader and
deeper theory of literary understanding, the author suggests that
children respond in five different ways during picture storybook
readalounds; that these responses reveal that children are engaged
in five different types of literary meaning-making; and that these
five types of meaning-making are instantiations of five
foundational aspects of literary understanding.
