The Stories Children Tell: Making Sense of the Narratives of Childhood

Rating:
Summary: Incredible insight
Review: The Stories Children Tell is a great piece of work that brings our ideas about children and the world together with sophisticated but accessible psychological themes.

Rating:
Summary: Bland review of old ideas
Review: This book is lacking in original content. The ideas expressed about the use of narrative are not new insights. While written by a psychologist the book does not follow the standard publication format for psychological material (e.g., lack of appropriate citations). The writing is choppy and difficult to follow.
