Review title: If you don't read one book this year, this should be it!
Product review: I am amazed that a book this bad was even written, let alone published and bought. Rose develops an incoherent analysis of children's literature that is an olio of deconstructionist literature theory, formalism, psychoanalytical musing, and neomarxism. The main argument, if there is one, is that children's literature is a form of child molestation. This book is an insult to the agony of the millions of children who suffer from the devasting psychological consequences of child molestation. As this book is sometimes assigned in courses in cultural studies, it is a sad indicator of how inane attempts to be provocative are now passing for "scholarship." Why can't books be given negative scores?
