Summary: it's....huge
Comment: I have this book as a textbook this semester and it has great info.It might have TOO much info though.Reading entire genres with this book can be a chore on the mind because the book is so large and intimidating to begin with.Also,the introductions for genres and authors are a bit too "acedemic" and bland;I constantly find myself looking to see how many pages are left to a chapter,due to lost interest.The upside and reason for 4 stars:the inclusion of full pieces of literature from the beggining of book-making to the present;the wealth of great stories will keep a mind feeding for many days(or a full semester.)While it can be tedious,it's worth reading.

Summary: A Great Resource, as Well as Enjoyable
Comment: This book is HUGE! I love the hard slipcover this book comes in, which keeps the book in great condition. This book is definitely informative and has tons of children's stories arranged by genre, such as Fantasy, Adventure, Chapbooks, ABC's, Picture Books, Fairy Tales, etc. The introductions to each section are greatly helpful b/c they contain tons of historical background on the type of children's literature. This book would probably be very useful for a teacher, and I would definitely recommend.

Summary: Where is Margaret Wise Brown?
Comment: Although impressed with the breadth and quality of this anthology, as a children's librarian I was shocked to discover that any mention of Margaret Wise Brown is entirely missing. She is a seminal author in Anglo-American children's literature, so much so that even Yale University devoted an entire afternoon's lecture to her at a children's literature conference in 1999. Other, more recent and therefore much less classic or influential authors are included in this anthology; therefore, surely there is room for Wise Brown as well. Other than this rather gaping hole, this is a fine representation of the body of children's literature through the centuries with well-written historical remarks.
