"The Children's Book Business" is an exploration of how children's literature and children's literature publishing has been shaped by the relationship between what the author calls "status quo" books - didactic ones that support a perceived social order and often deny truths of the real, adult world - and what she calls "guerilla" books - those that undermine or question the values of the social order and actually encourage negotiation with the real world, albeit in a coded, literary way. The book explains how testing, which is more pervasive than ever, champions basic skills over appreciation of literary merit, and creates a great demand for suitably neutral (bland, inoffensive) texts that are anything but worthwhile in terms of the kind of intellectual and emotional pleasure that provides the motivation for being literate.
