Reviews

<p> This book is particularly useful for teachers, teacher educators, and researchers interested in designing curriculum for reading children 's literature with a sociopolitical context in mind .By thoughtfully integrating both classroom practice and theory across the book, Botelho and Rudman equip readers with valuable reading strategies to guide children in reading dominant discourses of race, class, and gender and identify how ideology is rendered in the materials they read (p. 94). --Language Arts
