Abstract | Despite growing professional interest in the field of children's literature, adults provide few, if any, experiences to improve children's taste or enjoyment of books. A wide range of conflicting opinions exists concerning the wisdom of attempting in any way to guide children to read worthwhile books; and experts differ sharply with children over what constitutes good reading. Early in life, modern children come in contact with adult reading materials and television; they meet the challenges of sophisticated new approaches to mathematics and science; and they reflect a surprising catholicity of tastes in their listings of favorite authors. Yet they are being seriously underestimated by those responsible for purveying children's literature which is too often superficial or sub-literary. Further research is needed to determine exactly what children are reading and why they read it. (JB) |
