Tim Cummings's Reviews > Feeling Like a Kid: Childhood and Children's Literature

I loved this little book. Small but mighty. Packs a resounding punch. It examines those steadfast elements, themes, and aspects of literature that resonate with kids, and adults who read books for kids, and the authors who write for kids and why they can do it so wondrously. Snugness, Scariness, Smallness, Lightness, and Aliveness. Griswold uses examples from some of the greatest works of literature for children to deftly elucidate these points. I remained enraptured the entire way through. This handy and important book for those who love, write, and/or study writing for young people is a must-have.
