Wild Things
The Joy of Reading Children's Literature as an Adult
- Simon & Schuster
- by Bruce Handy
In 1690, the dour New England Primer, thought to be the first American children''s book, was published in Boston. Offering children gems of advice such as "Strive to learn" and "Be not a dunce," it was no fun at all. So how did we get from there to "Let the wild rumpus start"?

Description
In 1690, the dour New England Primer, thought to be the first American children''s book, was published in Boston. Offering children gems of advice such as "Strive to learn" and "Be not a dunce," it was no fun at all. So how did we get from there to "Let the wild rumpus start"? And now that we''re living in a golden age of children''s literature, what can adults get out of reading Where the Wild Things Are and Goodnight Moon, or Charlotte''s Web and Little House on the Prairie?
