“
Wild Things: The Joy of Reading Children’s Literature as an Adult
,”
Bruce Handy does as his title promises, proceeding through children’s literature like someone determined to cook every Julia Child recipe. But since, of course, the number of children’s books out there far exceeds the number of Child’s soufflé and marbled steak dishes, Handy selects a few titles to represent each age, from babydom on up to whatever it is children become before they become us
.
Some of these are from his own childhood, some are books he read to his (still growing) children, and some seem chosen to answer a curiosity about what so-called girl books really are.
RSVP not required. The book will be available for checkout from the library reserve shelf. The library is wheelchair-accessible.
