Children's Literature: A Developmental Perspective

Travers, Barbara E.; Travers, John F.

Those who work with children need a wide and deep knowledge of children's literature. This new text, through its developmental approach, examines children's abilities, needs, and interests. Children's Literature: A Developmental Perspective combines children's literature with developmental psychology, aiming to better prepare future teachers to meet the needs of individual children and to help develop their literary skills. By reading this text, students will learn what makes the most recently published books attractive to children, while still recognizing the value of books that have held children's interests in the past.
