Wild Things: The Joy Of Reading Children’s Literature As An Adult

"In Wild Things, Bruce Handy explores “the joy of reading children’s literature as an adult,” beginning at Margaret Wise Brown’s Goodnight Moon, moving on through Dr. Seuss, Maurice Sendak, Beatrix Potter, Beverly Cleary’s Ramona books (“like Henry James with much shorter sentences”), C.S. Lewis and others, ending with E.B. White. Handy’s generous, warm voice is just the kind you would want reading you bedtime stories."
