Reviews

'Children’s Literature in Translation. Texts and Contexts' presents a collection of diverse international case studies, framed by a useful introductory chapter, that could pave the way for more closer examinations of translated children’s literature and the process of translating different text formats for children within children’s literature studies, also bridging cultural and geographic differences within the field. Carla Plieth, Pub Res Q 38, 795–797 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1007/s12109-022-09921-1
