✦ Synopsis

In an original and wide-ranging study, Rhian Jones documents the unique contribution which picturebooks and stories make to the development of the infant mind between the ages of nine months and two years, using video recorded data to chart the children's progress. She then analyzes the connection between these very early behaviors and subsequent achievements in literacy. The work integrates research from a number of disciplines: linguistics, psychology, literary theory, and anthropology, to draw out the different levels at which book-based interactions may be seen to be "working."
