"If you are searching for a children’s literature text that speaks to issues beyond what is effective literature, this is the text that you should include in your teaching. Leland, Lewison, and Harste have created a text that is practical and relies on sound research to provide a pathway to building connections with literature."

--Kevin Cordi, Ohio Northern University, USA

"This text celebrates the potential of children’s literature to encourage readers to engage in the reading process, to think critically, to sort through ideas, and to act on them. Theory and practice are grounded in pedagogy that puts the reader at the center of the process, enjoying the adventure with high-quality literature across the curriculum."

--Denise H. Stuart, The University of Akron, USA

"Teaching Children’s Literature: It’s Critical! is a must read. The authors cleverly combine research, theory, and strategies that support classrooms filled with students who love reading, read critically, and use knowledge to advocate for equity."

--Lunetta Williams, University of North Florida, USA
