The Rights of the Reader
While at the library yesterday and what better place to find the rights of the reader, I was perusing the May/June 2009 copy of "The Horn Book" and came across a mention of Daniel Pennac's "The Rights of the Reader". Being unfamiliar with this author and his list, I looked them up today. Here is what I found.
What we read - May 2009
