Discussion of changes in terms of 1. formats, 2. perspectives, and 3. boundaries. Very interesting chapter on "Digital Age Readers and the Sense of Story," especially regarding the move away from the constrict of linear development, and the emergence of the reader's point of view (through interactivity) as a force. Lists gobs of other resources at the end of each chapter, which I love.

Terrific read for those of us who love children's literature, and have recognized the exciting changes taking place.
