""Once upon a time I was perfectly happy--complacent even. But then
my world came crashing down and I was suddenly a single mum of two
small children, losing sleep over how to pay the bills. The things
I learned allowed me to retain my sanity, self-esteem, and sense of
humour and to help my children get through the experience. I
discovered how to release the traumatic experiences and emotions
that were holding me back and find more fun, fulfillment, and
balance in my life (not to mention my lovely husband )""

We are fascinated by text and we are fascinated by reading. Is this
because we are in a time of textual change? Given that young people
always seem to be in the vanguard of technological change,
questions about what and how they read are the subject of intense
debate. Children as Readers in Children's Literature explores these
questions by looking at the literature that is written for children
and young people to see what it tells us about them as readers. The
contributors to this book are a group of distinguished children's
literature scholars, literacy and media specialists who contemplate
the multiple images of children as readers and how they reflect the
power and purpose of texts and literacy. Contributors to this
wide-ranging text consider: How books shape the readers we become
Cognitive and affective responses to representation of books and
reading The relationship between love-stories and reading as a
cultural activity Reading as 'Protection and Enlightenment'
Picturebooks as stage sets for acts of reading Readers' perceptions
of a writer This portrayal of books and reading also reveals
adults' beliefs about childhood and literacy and how they are
changing. It is a theme of crucial significance in the shaping of
future generations of readers given these beliefs influence not
only ideas about the teaching of literature but also about the role
of digital technologies. This text is a must-read for any
individual interested in the importance of keeping literature alive
through reading.
