This book considers Early Readers - books written and designed for children just beginning to read independently. Using approaches from education, child psychology, sociology, cultural studies, and children's literature, it examines Early Readers as teaching tools; as cultural artifacts that shape cultural and individual subjectivity; as mass-marketed products; and as aesthetic objects.

They address children's texts that have been translated and sold around the globe as part of an increasingly transnational children's media culture.
