Literature for the English classroom. Theory into practice

This book contains contributions from many scholars in both Norway and the UK; it provides the reader with profound knowledge of literature for children and young adults. The editors have included a separate chapter about picturebooks in which they deal with the typical features of picturebooks in addition to presenting different picturebooks along with practical pedagogic strategies for the classroom. The combination of theory and practice and its extensive attention to the Curriculum in English (LK20) makes it a valuable source for all teachers of English.
