This volume brings together international children's literature scholars who each look at children's texts as key vehicles of intergenerational play reflecting ideologies of childhood and as objects with which children and adults interact physically, emotionally, and cognitively. Each chapter applies a distinct theoretical approach to selected children's texts, including individual and social play, constructive play, or play deprivation. This collection of essays constitutes a timely voice in the current discussion about the importance of children's play and adults' contribution to it vis-à-vis the increasing limitations of opportunities for children's playful time in contemporary societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJustyna Deszcz-Tryhubczak\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Literature at the University of Wroclaw.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eShe has published among others on utopianism in children's literature and participatory approaches in children's literature studies.
