Growing Up With Us: Children's Books We Still Love as Adults
Fri 1:00pm CC204B
Some children's books survive the test of time in more ways than one:
not only are they read by new generations of children, but they
continue to be read and re-read by those same children when they grow
up. The great "children's books" -- Narnia, The Hobbit, Alice, The
Golden Compass, Harry Potter -- can be read and appreciated by adults
as well as children. What differentiates these from the children's
books we lay aside (and which disappoint us when we try to return to
them as adults)?
