Reviews:
"It is a manual and guide for writers, new and old, involved in children's literature. Although it is a theoretical book dealing with crucial matters of philology in the domain of children's books, because of the way it is written it proves to be a wonderful piece of literary art. I particularly appreciated the clarity and lucidity of the rich thoughts derived from a deep knowledge of the bibliography in this field, as well as from the successful psychological analysis of 'the child still alive in us all'. It is one of those books that writers - not only of children's books - as well as educators have to consult often."
