Hovis, director I certainly recall the first time I picked up the book. It was Lane Smith’s art that drew me toward cracking it open. Fun, wacky, yet with dark textures, I couldn’t help but be intrigued as just who this Stinky Man was. Then it happened. I fell into this zany world of Jon Scieszka’s mind. It is unabashed silliness at its best. I shared it with my three children, but I think I enjoyed it even more than they did. I have always been drawn to stupid, yet inventive humor. Years later, I am thinking, here I am, right back in that world of wonderful, beautiful stinkiness.

  • LIT 4331 4F62 Ulanowicz
    CHILDREN’S LITERATURE Summer B, 2017 LIT 4331: 4F62 Turlington 2323 Period 3: 11 a.m. – 12:15 pm Dr. Anastasia Ulanowicz [email protected] Office: Turlington 4362 Office Hours: Wednesdays, 1:30-3pm, and by appointment Course Overview The term “children’s literature” might well be considered an oxymoron: after all, any text explicitly produced for a pre- or semi-literate audience may be suspected of not satisfying certain conventional or otherwise institutionalized expectations of literature. The purpose of this course, then, is to examine how “children’s literature” has been defined as both a literary form and a scholarly field of study. We will discuss, for example, how the emergence of this specific literary form in the late eighteenth century coincided with the rise of new culturally-, materially-, and historically-informed notions of childhood – and how, in turn, books for young people have since marked significant shifts in ways of thinking about childhood and child readers. Additionally, we will discuss the aesthetics of children’s books (e.g, what makes them “literature” – or should that question even matter?) as well as their cultural and political implications (e.g., how does children’s literature, as a form traditionally produced by older generations for a new and rising one, at once reaffirm and contest dominant social norms and values?) In order to meet these objectives, we will read a variety of books written for and about children: biographies, fantasies, picture books, historical novels, verse novels, pop culture sensations, and long- regarded classics. As we analyze these texts, we will consider how our discussions contribute to, and work in dialogue with, major interventions in the scholarly field of children’s literature studies, as demonstrated within Philip Nel’s and Lissa Paul’s landmark text, Keywords for Children’s Literature.
