This accessible text will show students and class teachers how they can enable their pupils to become critical thinkers through the medium of picturebooks. By introducing children to the notion of making-meaning together through thinking and discussion, Roche focuses on carefully chosen picturebooks as a stimulus for discussion, and shows how they can constitute an accessible, multimodal resource for adding to literacy skills, while at the same time developing in pupils a far wider range of literary understanding.

By allowing time for thinking about and digesting the pictures as well as the text, and then engaging pupils in classroom discussion, this book highlights a powerful means of developing children’s oral language ability, critical thinking, and visual literacy, while also acting as a rich resource for developing children’s literary understanding. Throughout, Roche provides rich data and examples from real classroom practice.

This book also provides an overview of recent international research on doing ‘interactive read alouds’, on what critical literacy means, on what critical thinking means and on picturebooks themselves.

Lecturers on teacher education courses for early years or primary levels, classroom teachers, pre-service education students, and all those interested in promoting critical engagement and dialogue about literature will find this an engaging and very insightful text.

In this column, we feature quality children’s literature that supports critical literacies engagement in the classroom and for the independent reader.

Xavier Mínguez-López

Literature does not necessarily mean education. Literature is, above all, a cultural and artistic product made for readers to enjoy. Consequently, children’s literature should also be considered a cultural and artistic product that can appeal to young readers. However, as the title of this chapter suggests, is it also possible to use literature as an educational tool? The aim of this paper is to discuss the relationship between children’s literature and education and how both disciplines can be linked through the development of literary competence at a young age.
