Addressing how such writing is either vulnerable or resistant to critical engagement, Sander pays attention to the attributes that nonfiction shares with other forms of literature, including voice and character, as well as special features of the genre, such as peritexts and photography. The first book to theorize children's nonfiction from a literary perspective, Sanders reveals how nonfiction can make young readers active learners rather than passive recipients of information. -- from back cover. 650 0 $a American prose literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Children's literature, American $x History and criticism. 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Sanders, Joe Sutliff. $t Literature of questions. $d Minneapolis : University of Minnesota Press, [2018] $z 9781452955766 $w (OCoLC)1011543360 $w (OCoLC)1011543360 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303020335.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5A0D97F4F79311E8BA923B1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
