ENGL 3102: Literature for Young Children
University of North Carolina, Charlotte
Critical study of literature for children under the age of eight, covering such topics as picture books, nursery rhymes, and books for beginning readers. Section information text: Literature for even the youngest of children is comprised of a sophisticated range of literary and visual techniques. From the its early development to specific authors and illustrators who have revolutionized children’s literature, we will study a variety of texts including alphabets, historical fiction, realism, and fantasy. Focusing on how stories are told, adapted, and shaped for young audiences, we will explore how both verbal and visual elements (such as colors, shapes, and even fonts) tell a story of their own.
