EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM A CHILDREN'S BOOK, are a tribute to the lasting impact that good children's literature can have on its readers.
Each of the notable contributors provided a brief essay, reminiscing how the book influenced him or her, accompanied by an excerpt and illustration from that book. Alongside the essay, Silvey herself gives a short historical commentary on each book mentioned. As back matter, you'll find a brief paragraph about each contributor and a recommended reading list of children's books.
A fun addition to any parent's - or literature lover's - library.
