What is it about?

Consumable Reading and Children's Literature explores how multisensory experiences enhance early childhood literacy practices through material and sensory interactions. Embodied engagements that focus on the gustatory experience are investigated by studying food-related narratives.

Why is it important?

Children’s literature and different reading scenarios involving consumable objects, tableware and utensils are scrutinized. Surfaces are considered in connection to emerging media and groundbreaking technologies.

Perspectives

I hope this monograph will inspire the interest of not only students, teachers, scholars of children’s literature and child development but also researchers and practitioners across various artistic and scientific disciplines.
