Historical Dictionary of Children's Literature


Book Description

Children's literature comes from a number of different sources-folklore (folk- and fairy tales), books originally for adults and subsequently adapted for children, and material authored specifically for them-and its audience ranges from infants through middle graders to young adults (readers from about 12 to 18 years old). Its forms include picturebooks, pop-up books, anthologies, novels, merchandising tie-ins, novelizations, and multimedia texts, and its genres include adventure stories, drama, science fiction, poetry, and information books. The Historical Dictionary of Children's Literature relates the history of children's literature through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, a bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on authors, books, and genres. Some of the most legendary names in all of literature are covered in this important reference, including Hans Christian Anderson, L. Frank Baum, Lewis Carroll, Roald Dahl, Charles Dickens, C.S. Lewis, Beatrix Potter, J.K. Rowling, Robert Louis Stevenson, Mark Twain, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jules Verne, and E.B. White.

When Sprout and his father move from Long Island to Kansas after the death of his mother, he is sure he will find no friends, no love, no beauty.

Miffy Helps at Home


Book Description

Miffy's Mini Shape Books are now available! With this small format designed fit into small hands, children can take Miffy wherever they go, carrying the books on outings, on trips, to school ... anywhere! In Good Morning, Miffy, Miffy takes the reader through a typical day in her life: having breakfast, going for a walk, playing with ducks at the park, and finally heading to bed with her favorite teddy bear. Miffy is very proud of herself in Miffy Helps at Home. Why? Because Miffy is learning to do helpful things like watering flowers and arranging her toys. At the end Miffy gets a special treat from her mother as a reward. Miffy does one of her favorite things in Miffy Tours the Zoo, where she encounters various kinds of animals -- a camel, a lion, a rhino, a kangaroo family, and more! Miffy loves the zoo and promises the giraffes that she will come again. Children love the bright colors and simple lines of Dick Bruna's drawings and these Mini Shape Books are a perfect start for beginning readers.
