Negative Positive
Title: Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, and boring.
Review: Horrible, horrible book unless you are writing a doctoral thesis. The author hates didactism, yet she does not explain things enough and give enough definitions. She spends the majority of the book quoting children's books as fluff to create a big book. Organized poorly. I only read it because it was required for my class I was taking. The book did nothing but give me a headache and put me to sleep. I cannot see how it has made it to print, let alone being the eighth edition. Very boring book that does nothing to encourage the reader to love children's literature. The author does not even have a full glossary or index. Many terms and definitions are in the chapters, but no in the glossary or index. The book is not worth the money spent for it. Waste of money and time.
