Table of ContentsReviewsChildren's Books on the Big Screen makes a significant contribution both to the general and the specific field of children's films. Utilizing a full history of children's film criticism and drawing on specific adaptation critics from outside children's literature and film, it incorporates a variety of critical perspectives to develop the ongoing conversation about adaptation. Well written, accessible, and critically astute, Meghann Meeusen challenges scholars to rethink the problematic issue of fidelity to a source text, arguing convincingly that scholars should look instead for the ideological amplification and allow more voices to join the conversation.--Ian Wojcik-Andrews, author of Children's Films: History, Ideology, Pedagogy, Theory While Meeusen's readers may still internally compare a film adaptation to its source text and find one preferable, Children's Books on the Big Screen allows readers to imagine not only how to move beyond fidelity-based approaches, but how to make sure the next generation of scholars has the tools to critically examine the binary polarization trends that Meeusen carefully maps for her readers and explore the belief systems effected by the amplified polarizing of binaries.--Dina Schiff Massachi Children's Literature Association Quarterly Author InformationMeghann Meeusen is lecturer, faculty specialist, and graduate advisor at Western Michigan University.
