Review: Kid Lit: An Introduction to Literary Criticism
Kid Lit: An Introduction to Literary Criticism by Tom DurwoodMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
No matter where we turn, narratives are at every corner.
The author brilliantly places the various components of classic stories in a realm accessible by youth.
From the typical coming-of-age stories to the magical tales that captivate young minds, Kid Lit provides the foundation necessary to read between the lines of any fictional narrative and extract the message.
This was my favorite nonfiction book of the year by far. Kid Lit forced me to step back and look at literature as more than just an art form used to escape daily life. I would recommend Kid Lit to anyone, especially ELA teachers and parents.
