REVIEWS

4.5
Literature of Delight: a Critical Guide to Humorous Books for Children gives a comprehensive (for its time)overview of books for children. It is useful as a retrospective tool for collection development in libraries as well as an aid to guide parents. This book is an important contribution to humour, a field that lightens our day, our spirits and even has health benefits. For current books, it would still pay to follow up what the authors are writing today.
