Goldstone, Bette P.
Journal of Children's Literature, v24 n2 p48-55 Fall 1998
Discusses a need for "post picture books" (which do not contain an orderly progression of story elements) to be evaluated and understood using different criteria. Considers how literary theory provides a structure for ordering the chaos. Discusses how new metafictive books reflect new literary codes and a new dynamic reading process of co-authoring (SC)
