Inside Picture Books

In this psychological analysis of popular children`s books, the author argues that picture books are powerful tools for conveying messages about moral principles and assumptions about class, gender, and race. Her examinations include Margaret Wise Brown`s GOODNIGHT MOON, Maurice Sendak`s WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, and Beatrix Potter`s THE TALE OF PETER RABBIT. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
