Abstract

As long as Alice, Peter Rabbit, or Little Tim remain shut in on the bookshelf, iiterature wilt not happen. My own definition of literature is something that happens in the mind of a human being when that person reads or listens to a story. Adults who work with children serve as a vital link between the world of books and their intended audience. It is most important that these adults be conversant with ways to share books with children which, on one hand, increase the child's appreciation, but, on the other, do so without marring the enjoyment of the work. I am sure every reader can identify at least one book, poem, or play that was ruined by overenthusiastic or misguided "analysis."
