Children's literature is an expanding field of study, involving criticism, education, and psychology. This book argues that children's literature has an important role in the development of critical theory, especially in the areas of reader response and the effect of the imagined readership on the writing of the text itself. The book does not tackle the subject in the context of schools and movements in criticism, but seeks to develop ideas from basics, using the minimum of critical jargon.
