No previous collection of criticism has focused on gender in the broad range of children's literature. No previous collection has embraced both children's literature and material culture. Beverly Lyon Clark and Margaret R. Higonnet bring together twenty-two scholars to look closely at the complexities of children's culture. Girls, Boys, Books, Toys asks questions about how the gender symbolism of children's culture is constructed and resisted. What happens when women rewrite (or illustrate) nursery rhymes, adventure stories, and fairy tales told by men? How do the socially scripted plots for boys and girls change through time and across cultures? Have critics been blind to what women write about "masculine" topics? Can animal tales or doll stories displace tired commonplaces about gender, race, and class? Can different critical approaches—new historicism, narratology, or postcolonialism—enable us to gain leverage on the different implications of gender, age, race, and class in our readings of children's books and children's culture?

In this new and heartwarming Christmas tale, Jingle Jangle is the only elf at the North Pole who does not work for Santa Claus. He loves his toys far too much to give them away to girls and boys. But soon his giant stocking of toys begins to take over, and then Jingle Jangle learns something important about the Christmas spirit. With the holiday season approaching, millions of children are furiously putting pen to paper, plotting their toy lists and preparing to send them off to Santa. However, every adult knows that getting these gifts isn't the true reason for season, and that explaining it to excited youngsters is easier said than done. However, this beautiful, enchanting new book by author Rose Frances Thomason is helping thousands of kids learn this vital lesson without being lectured to.
