Challenging and Controversial Picturebooks Creative and critical responses to visual texts

"Even before I started to read Part I of Challenging and Controversial Picturebooks, I was
hooked! Janet Evans has very cleverly not only chosen eminent picturebook theorists from
around the world to contribute to this exciting and very readable book, she has also
designed it in such a way that one is plunged into the world of children's acceptance of
complex narratives as a precursor to more theoretical input."  - Penni Cotton, CLELE Journal

"This collection of essays achieves a number of significant contributions to the field of picturebook studies.
Evans serves us well with this display of children's voices raised in discussion of contemporary politics." - Margaret Mackey, Literacy UKLA
