What Are Children’s Books For?

"A new exhibit, The ABC of It, asks grown-up questions about literature for kids." Link: www.thenation.com

Note: 
The New England Primer is NOT out of print but is available here. (!)


Summary: Now new hope for First time or Part-time home school parents who 
want to "put a hedge of protection around their child's heart" while attending 
public school by requiring them to also learn the principles contained in the new, 
improved and updated "New England Primer, 1996."

Parents can easily influence their "teenagers(to be) twelve-and-a-half times more likely to remain virgins."

The 20 stages of reading


"If there are stages of grief and steps to recovery, isn’t the act of reading a complicated, evolving thing over time? Cartoonist Lynda Barry, one of scores of writers at the National Book Festival on Sept. 21-22, certainly thinks so."
