In the past she wrote a children‘s book review for The Toronto Star. Her recently published book, "Michele Landsberg‘s Guide to Children‘s Books," comprises a critical look at the good, the bad and the ugly in children‘s literature. In the past, children‘s literature followed very rigid and traditional guidelines. Fairy tales and folklore were widely read, the story almost always had a moral and the old classics were often pressed into young hands before they could be fully understood. However, all that has changed and there is a tremendous variety of reading material availâ€" able to children, that is if they like to read. Reading comes in third or fourth place when we consider what‘s available now with televiâ€" sion, home computers, movies, ghetto blasters and sports. It seems there is little quiet time left for reading. The responsibility of the parent then, is to direct and guide their child‘s reading habits and be aware of what‘s out there in the school, library, bookstores and supermarkets. Landsberg says books create and develop the imagination. Each child will picture the characters and setting in his own imagination, which is limitless. a Books can be read and reâ€"read and the reader is always in control to skip, go back, absorbing deeply or skimming through lightly. The reader may try on at will the feelings and identities of thousands of people in thousands of other lives. Yet many parents, after long and valiant attempts, moan, "My child doesn‘t like to read.‘"‘ For those parents, she gives pointers WHITE GRUBS ay 4A 48 l6 Te > o = Ag f crover _ .. c _\r.‘.? 2 |' Jf crneepng _ @ * _ CHARLIE /3 y W se ~.“_ & xX 4* â€" 7“2.“\, i ap s UR w®AL _ cMIcKwEED____=______ CRABG The World of Books Music Time ‘86 sentations by the junior String Orchestra, the Tradition Jazz Ensemble and various percusâ€" sion ensembles. The program includes a wide variety of reperâ€" toire presented by students from grade one through grade 13. The reader of this book might find some surprises though when Landsberg wallops some of the most popular books children enjoy. on how to stimulate and sustain interest in reading. A warning is given for the young child against too many moralizing books with rightâ€"thinking cutsy animals who chirp, bark and mew out the author‘s moral messages. Landsberg points out that violence, hate, racism and sexism still exist in some of these books. She heaps praise on Dennis Lee‘s "Alligator Pie,‘"" the first poetry for children to adapt the rhythms of nursery rhymes to Canadian context. But she turns thumbs down to his "Jelly Belly" and "Garbage Delight" which dwell on cheap laughs in life that children get anyway without an adult pointing them out. Two of Richard Dakhi‘s books, ‘"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "James and the Giant Peach" get a mudcake, in which she says they depict sadism and black humor. She throws a bouquet to Guelph author, Robert Munsch, for "The Paperbag Prinâ€" cess,"" about a modern day preppy style prince and princess. Juay Blume is really on her blacklist for her various preâ€"adolescent and young adult Finally at the back of the book the author gives a list with brief description of over 350 recent and classic books for the preâ€"school to early teen reader. This guidebook will be helpful for anyone choosing children‘s reading material â€" parents, teachers, librarians and lastly the children themseives. Michele Landsberg‘s Guide to Children‘s Books.
