Overview

A revised edition of the prizewinning educator's collection of essays challenging some of the chestnuts of children's literature. Highlights instances of racism, sexism and condescension that detract from the tales being told and strategies are provided for detecting bias in stories written for young people, along with ways of teaching kids to think critically about what they read. Includes essays on Pinocchio, the history of progressive education and a call for the writing of more radical children's literature.
