The Childrens Book Business
    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.
