Stephanie Jentgens provides an appropriate and well-founded insight into the field of literature education that is never pretentious and is distinctly systematic. The textbook on literature education explains the areas of action within this field, formulates the foundations for pedagogical practice, offers an introduction to children's and youth literature, provides practical tools for navigating the market, and outlines the steps from project planning to evaluation. The focus of the discussions is an overview of the methods of literature education. By analyzing individual children's and youth books, suitable teaching offers are developed as examples. The book supports both aspiring and practicing literature educators in their learning process.
