This was a pretty good textbook. It got a little dense at times, but it was basically just a long list of children's books which was very enjoyable.

Read for Media for Children.

I didn't read the book cover to cover, but I did skim it for one of my library science classes. Overall I found it to be helpful and informative.

Too expensive, even to rent it...not worth as much as they ask for it.
Good information inside though.
