Truly a labor of love, Barbara Bader's history of the American picturebooks from colonial times to the nineteen seventies is essential reading for anyone interested in children's literature. Bader is particularly good about the post-WWII period when writers like Margaret Wise Brown and editors like Ursula Nordstrom started the trend of incorporating the ideas of child psychology into picturebooks. Bader seems to have known everybody who was anybody in postwar juvenile publishing it seems, and she interviewed them all for this book. The result is a fascinating social history of the children's book business as well as perceptive analysis of the books themselves. This is an important book that deserves to get back into print.
