From fairy tales and non-fiction to picture books and digital texts, learn what qualities underpin outstanding children's literature and how you can use this to inspire rewarding learning experiences in your classroom.

  • A special focus on Australian indigenous children's literature
  • Busting popular myths about children's literature to give you a deeper understanding of the form
  • Evaluation criteria for every genre, helping you to recognise the qualities of high quality books
