Review
“This title presents some interesting insights into an important area of children's culture. Undergraduates, in particular, will find this book a useful introduction to the subject.”–Choice
“Westfahl succeeds in his aim of showing that children's literature and pop culture have generally become more imaginative due to science fiction. The aroma of muckraking is what makes these studies so delightful and compulsively readable. Suitable to college-level readers and up, the book is one I heartily recommend to everybody.”–Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts
“Westfahl's playfulness gives rise to many intriguing speculations, conncecting popular culture phenomena in convincing but previously unarticulated ways.”–The Midwest Book Review
“[G]ood reading. If science fiction fascinates you as a genre, then Gary Westfahl's books are a good place to look for interesting criticism. Westfahl's prose is clear and concise and, although this is definitely a scholarly book, it's easy to read and understand....I do recommend this book quite highly.”–Entertainment Tomorrow
