Wild Things!: Acts of Mischief in Children's Literature by Betsy Bird, Peter Sieruta, Julie Danielson
funny

3.5
A meandering journey through children’s literature. Beginning with books about naughty children and swift punishment, continuing through the lives of lgbtq children’s authors and characters, checking in with book banning, and giving a heavy eye roll toward celebrity authors.
This book was published eight years ago, and since then there seems to be more diverse content in children’s books, particularly with lgbtq characters. But there also seems to be more challenges of late.
