Providing examples from diverse cultural and historical contexts, this collection argues that childrens texts promote intergenerational play through the use of literary devices and graphic formats and that they may prompt joint play practices in the real world. The book offers a distinctive contribution to childrens literature scholarship by shifting critical attention away from the difference and conflict between children and adults to the exploration of inter-age interdependencies as equally crucial aspects of human life, presenting a new perspective for all who research and work with childrens culture in times of global aging.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-67700-8}, recid = {1436126}, pages = {1 online resource}, address = {Cham :}, year = {2021}, }
