The enduring appeal of humor is discussed, as manifest in comics, poetry and popular fiction such as the Dr Seuss books. Childrens voices are also here, offering sophisticated views of pictorial texts and revealing new possibilities about what reading might come to mean.This auReviews contemporary conceptions of visual texts for children and explores what will be understood as visual literacy in the future.
