Rezensionen

the authors deftly avoid presenting the text as a print versus digital books divide, and instead present a multitude of ways of reading, showing how they can be complementary and further engage and motivate children to read. This book is a timely reminder that we no longer face the issue of how much children should read, as it is all too easy to widen one s repertoire of books in this age of digital libraries. The more imperative matter at hand is the need to consider how digital texts should be considered alongside print texts as resources for cultivating RfP.
