In his captivating book, Jerry Griswold delves into the fascinating realm of how children's literature captures the inquisitive spirit of a child. This captivating work, recognized as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2007 by Choice Magazine, explores the unique aspects of childhood experiences and their recurring themes in children's literature. Griswold conducts a comprehensive survey of dozens of beloved classic and popular works, ranging from Heidi and The Wizard of Oz to Beatrix Potter and Harry Potter. Through his insightful analysis, Griswold reveals how exceptional children's writers excel by their remarkable ability to recapture the essence of being a child: engaging in imaginative play under tables, experiencing trepidation on a spooky night, constructing miniature worlds with toys, soaring as caped superheroes, and immersing oneself in the captivating conversations of dolls.
Feeling Like a Kid takes a bold and honest approach to unveiling the distinctive ways in which young minds perceive and interpret the world, distinct from the perspectives of adults. Authored by a renowned scholar, prize-winning author, and frequent contributor to the Los Angeles Times, this extensively illustrated book captivates both general readers and scholars interested in childhood and children's literature.
