Books by Margaret Mackey

With the wide variety of formats and products associated with Beatrix Potter's classic The Tale of Peter Rabbit, the author raises questions about the impact of these developments on young readers.

The contemporary young reader learns from a very early age to read and interpret through a broad range of media. This book explores how a group of boys and girls, aged from ten to fourteen, make sense of narratives in a variety of formats, including print, electronic book, video, DVD, computer game and CD-ROM.
