Looking at work that spans the length of his career, this article examines Hughes's individual collections for children, both in their own terms as poetry and in terms of their intended audience. I suggest that Ted Hughes's poetry for children was an attempt, with varying degrees of success, to create a body of work that remained true to his gift of 'caging' the minute within real and imaginary worlds, and that he expended considerable energy in staying faithful, not only to the world as he saw it, but also to the way his work appeared in, and took its place within, that world.

(Children's verse) SO CHILDRENS LITERATURE IN EDUCATION LA English DT Article NR 35 SN 0045-6713 PU KLUWER ACADEMIC-HUMAN SCIENCES PRESS C1 CUNY, Queens Coll, New York, NY USA CUNY, Queens Coll, New York, NY USA DE children's poetry; children's verse; poetry and literacy AB At the beginning of the twentieth century, the number of poets whose works were intended solely for children was relatively small. At the century's end, poetry and verse for children is a burgeoning field, the roster of children's poets long and growing. Some critics find little merit in the genre, preferring that children be introduced instead to the works of acknowledged 'great' poets. This essay explores, among related ideas, such questions as these: In today's abundance of children's verse, is there genuine poetry? What do critics and poets consider to be genuine poetry? Where do the children themselves stand on the subject of poetry?

Extractions: Jon Scieszka is the author of the most subversive and intelligent children's books around. He has teamed up with a number of illustrators, most notably Lane Smith, who has lent a funky, dadaist aesthetic to Scieszka's stories of bacteria, processed meat products, time-traveling kids and, of course, stinky cheese. Scieszka is the author of, among other things, The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Tales , the Time Warp Trio books, and the new Squids Will Be Squids . We conversed via email. Ryan Boudinot: I spoke to my sister (age 14) last night and she said her copy of The Stinky Cheese Man physically stinks. What'd you guys do, use bleu cheese dressing in the ink?

LDMA's Life In The Wor Zone: Masters Of Education?? Why does the book appeal to children? Comment on the elements of fiction; plot,setting, characters, characterization, theme, and style. http://blog.louisminson.com/archives/000260.html
Extractions: Main The following question was posed as part of a mid-term test to a group of Master of Education students studying English Children's Literature at a Thai university. Harry Potter is said to be the most popular and the most-in-demand among young readers these days. What do you think makes the book so successful? Why does the book appeal to children? Comment on the elements of fiction; plot, setting, characters, characterization, theme, and style. After the test the marks for the question is struck from the results following a complaint by students that it was unfair as a number of them had never read or even heard of Harry Potter. It struck me as amusing that the average 10 year old knows more than these would be masters. The unbelievable part is that rather than being laughed out of the course diector's office, it was deemed that hiding under a rock on Mars for the last 5 years should not disqualify one from bearing the title Master of Education, and the complaint upheld and the question deemed unfair and the fault of the lecturer for assuming too much cultural knowlege was known by the students. T.I.T.
