Whether on tablet, phone, book, or wearable, reading remains a mainstay as a pleasure for many – especially children. With more routes into reading than ever, not to mention new reading repertoires involving tapping, scrolling, swiping, and curating, children must be nimble and fluid as they navigate reading worlds. In Children Reading for Pleasure in the Digital Age, Kucirkova and Cremin elegantly map out children’s reading practices across digital and non-digital domains.

Kucirkova’s and Cremin’s book is a timely and nuanced look at how digital technologies can play a positive role in children’s joy of reading. Written in a style which is at once eloquent, engaging, in-depth, and accessible, the authors present a wealth of research on children’s pleasure reading and digitisation, and provide recommendations for teachers, librarians, parents and scholars alike.

‘ … the authors deftly avoid presenting the text as a print versus digital books divide, and instead present a multitude of ways of reading, showing how they can be complementary and further engage and motivate children to read. This book is a timely reminder that we no longer face the issue of how much children should read, as it is all too easy to widen one’s repertoire of books in this age of digital libraries. The more imperative matter at hand is the need to consider how digital texts should be considered alongside print texts as resources for cultivating RfP.’
