The author examines young children's play practices with digital tablets, focusing on tablet play among 84 preschoolers and how it redefines concepts of digital literacy practices in Denmark and Japan. She discusses cultural characteristics of play in these countries; aspects of play, disciplines for researching children and emerging technologies, and theories on digital literacy and play; a taxonomy for understanding tablet play, focusing on vocabulary, design, play, interaction, and attachment; and the concepts of digital penmanship, multimodal hyper-intertextuality, and playful literacy. -- Copyright 2019 * Portland, OR * this book makes a strong case for just how tablets are fulfilling a symbolic and cultural purpose as a 'negotiated third space' (pp. 33, 92), thereby enabling children's embodied, discursive, and communicative abilities to imagine and create. -- Chikezie E.
